NAME

morse-x - morse practicing tool

SYNTAX

morse-x [options]

DESCRIPTION

In morse-x you can use any key on your keyboard as morse key (except q, which exits) and then it displays your morsed stuff as readable text on stdout. (You should execute morse-x in an X terminal.)

OPTIONS

Of course, morse-x takes some options, some with arguments. See the following list. A preceding dash (-) is optional.

c

Tries to find out your number of words per minute. (In fact, it is like the calibration function in former versions, except that it does not save the result, it just tells you your the number of your words per minute.)

f frequency

Set sound frequency.

g

Show dits as red dots and daws as red lines in the main window.

h

Print usage information, the same you can read here. Hopefully.

m

Mute audio. No audio device will be opened.

r samplerate

Set audio sample rate.

s

Show dits as dots and daws as dashes on stdout.

t

Show used morse code table and exit. If you have suggestions on that table, please let me know.

v volume

Set sound volume. This must be a value between 0 and 1.

w wpm

Set words per minute. This must be an integer between 1 and 60.

Note that older versions (2004*) were written using Xlib instead of libSDL and thus had some other options and no audio output. By the way, the .morse-x file of earlier versions is no longer needed. You may remove it.

BUGS

None so far. Please report some.
