Please search for the package unixcw which came with some SUSE versions including 8.1 and 9.1 but not 9.2. However if you install the package from an older version it should work anyway. The program you need is called cwcp and it will only work on one of the text consoles (CTRL-ALT-F1 ... CTRL-ALT-F6). Regards, Nils -- Don't Panic

G'day Billie
have you tried Googling for linux morse code and/or had a look at
Or google has a linux set google.com/linux and searching morse OR cw suse finds Web Results 1 - 10 of about 38,800 for morse OR cw suse. Suse has a Morse tutor or Multimon that decodes a variety of digital transmission modes There is the old BSD games set for Linux with $NetBSD: morse.c,v 1.10 2000/07/03 /usr/games> morse radio dit daw dit, dit daw, daw dit dit, dit dit, daw daw daw, and cw version 1.1, Copyright (C) 1998 Simon Baldwin with cwgen for random group generation and cwcp - curses-based Morse tutor program Try http://www.dxzone.com/cgi-bin/dir/search.cgi?query=linux And good old Debian suggests leads and can be installed into SuSE. See lists at http://packages.debian.org/stable/hamradio/ and http://packages.debian.org/unstable/hamradio/
