I can't understand why hams publish web page after web page and QST/QEX article after article with their latest circuits and tricks and the like, but when it comes to software they turn into Bill Gates himself. Hardly the ham radio spirit. Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB |

Hardly the ham radio spirit. Ham Radio Deluxe is a great program, with lots of features, a responsive author and it is *free*. I would suggest you try using it, assming you have one of the many programs that is supports. Simon has put a lot of effort into this program over a number of years, and has added many features and improvements based on inputs from users. It seems to me that Simon has *exactly* the ham radio spirit. - 73 Bob W7OV |

That's a wrong assumption. I don't have any of these Windows programs and have no intention of buying any of them. Simon has put a lot of effort into this program over a number of years, and has added many features and improvements based on inputs from users. Fine. It would have been a major improvement and a killer feature to have the program available on a platform that is not Windows. You can read the answer to this suggestion in this very thread. It seems to me that Simon has *exactly* the ham radio spirit. You must be part of that large audience someone kept rambling about.

The point, Peter, is that you are free to create applications that run on
whatever platform you like. Whining because someone else won't do it for you is inappropriate. Eclipse provides a nice rich client environment, and a powerful set of development tools for constructing GUI-based applications; its open source, free, runs on Linux, and has an OSI-approved license. You can even use aspect-oriented Java.What are you waiting for? I'm suspect you know that comments like "because we wanted a large audience" are flamebait, and should simply be ignored. 73, Dave, AA6YQ "Peter Lemken" wrote in message ...
