Description : An X-Chat plugin for sending and receiving raw Morse code over
IRC.
CWirc is a plugin for the X-Chat IRC client to transmit raw morse code over the
internet using IRC servers as reflectors. The transmitted morse code can be
received in near real-time by other X-Chat clients with the CWirc plugin. CWirc
tries to emulate a standard amateur radio rig : it sends and receives morse over
virtual channels, and it can listen to multiple senders transmitting on the same
channel. Morse code is keyed locally using a straight or iambic key connected to
a serial port, or using the mouse buttons, and the sound is played through the
soundcard, or through an external sounder.
* Note from the author (me)
I would like to contribute CWirc to Debian, but I don't have the time or desire
to become a Debian maintainer. CWirc is in fact already packaged
(http://webperso.easyconnect.fr/om.the/web/cwirc/debian/), it just lacks proper
automake/autoconf scripts. The package is stable and shouldn't change much
anymore. It's already setup to generate Debian source and binary packages from
the tarball, so if someone wants to "Debianize" it properly, I'll reflect the
changes upstream so that maintaining it will take no effort.
