Subject: Morse Code Instruction
Netlandians,
I have a project to network 15 workstations and an instructor station to
teach soldiers Morse Code (using a manual key for input, presenting groups
on the screen for transmission, etc.; and more difficult - sending CW to
the student and having him copy in block print on a graphics pad).
I have most of the Public Domain things from SIMTEL20 (various TTY programs,
the package on Packet Radio, some Morse programs), and would appreciate
pointers to any other available code.
I'm tentatively planning on using Commodore 64s, VIC-20s, or some sort of
smart workstation in that class, but would also be interested in anyone
who managed to use a nice fast micro to drive a number of workstations or
student input stations.
Last (the toughy) -- any software out there (commercial even) that'll take
handwritten (block print) characters from a cheap graphics pad and ASCIIze
it? I've seen ads for the smart tablets (reputed to handle even longhand),
but they're still too expensive.
Thanks in advance (quite a help list, ne?)
