[Elecraft] Computer interface programming

[Jack Smith]

Keith is correct in that the command syntax is simple enough to roll 
your own routines.

There is a "universal" library that gives common function calls for a 
variety of transceivers, Omnirig, available at 
http://www.dxatlas.com/omnirig/

I looked at this when writing Z90 Control version 2 to allow the Z90/91 
panadapter to interface with other than K2 transceivers, but decided 
that my Z90 customer base was so heavily weighted to the K2 that the 
extra effort required to use Omnirig was not justified. Instead, I just 
wrote a few simple Delphi routines to read and write the necessary commands.
