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

http://radio.linux.org.au/?sectpat=morse&ordpat=title

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/

One of my LONG dormant hobbies is ham radio. Well, I'm finally thinking about becoming a bit more active. One problem is that I only have a Novice, does that tell you how long I've been dormant, license. To say that my code skills are rusty would be a BIG understatement. Kind of like saying the Titanic got scratched by an ice cube.

Anyway, I got to wondering if there was anything like a practice program for Linux. I know there are a few for windows,
