Description-en: Morse code tutor - command line user interface
The unixcw project provides support for learning to use Morse.
.
This package provides two executables:
* cw - a simple command line application that converts key-presses
to Morse code that can be heard through the console buzzer or a
sound card;
* cwgen - a program that generates groups of random characters for
Morse code practice, which can be piped to the cw program.
.
It also includes example files (with the extension "cw") containing
commands which can be used to change properties such as the speed,
tone, and spacing of characters.
