Tom,

The K2/KIO2 Programmers Reference is available for download from the 
Elecraft website > 
http://www.elecraft.com/manual/KIO2%20Pgmrs%20Ref%20rev%20E.pdf

It contains all the commands and their formats.  If you create a piece 
of software that can send and receive these commands over an RS-232 
port, you will have the software that you desire.

The commands can even be sent manually or from a script using a terminal 
program such as HyperTerm.

That is about as open source as you can get. Pick your programming 
language from assembler through the most exotic and control your 
display/input presentation and the resulting serial port commands.
