Hello list,
I know, there are lots of coders here and I have a question. There is
an old
DOS application I found, which is open source and GPL.
As far as I know, this application is written in C, it is running in
textmode
("ncurses-mode").
Since there is no similar linux based application like this, I
wondered, ho
difficult for an experienced coder it will be, to get a DOS application
natively running in linux.
For those, who are interested, this is what this application is for:
The application is for radio enthusiasts. It can recognize every radio
transceiver with its transmission. This is because every radio
transceiver has
its very personally transient response, just like a fingerprint. This
application gets its signal then from the if-module via the souzndcard
and
shows the very special transient response as a graphic. These graphic
can be
named and whenever the transceiver is sending again, it will be
recognized.
Very useful to recognize and rerecognize unwanted stations.
I can send the app wherever you want to (attaching it here, does not
allow to
send the mail strangely), so everyone can take a look. This app is
available
in the web, but a little bit hidden, if you do not know its exactly
name.
The original author of the application has sadly passed by many years
ago, but
as I said, it is GPL. If someone is bored, he can do with it, whatever
he
wants.
Long text, short question: As I am no coder, though I would like to
know, how
much time (roughly estimated, not exactly!) an experienced coder would
need
and if this would be possible at all. How many hours do you think? Is
DOS C
and Linux C compatible, so that such thing could be easy?
I will be happy of all feedback!
Best regards
Hans
tried DOSEMU?
