[Elecraft] Quick software note (W2, etc.)

[Mike Markowski]

In answer to emails about software I recently converted to Web Start 
(link at Elecraft W1 software page), this quick post addresses recent 
common questions.  Summarizing answers to the most common, especially 
the first one:

- I'd love to provide W2 software but I don't own one.  Without one 
present writing code for it while not impossible would be cumbersome 
(needing email back & forth between an owner and me to see if it works, 
etc.).

- I'm a customer and not otherwise associated with Elecraft, so I can't 
similarly convert firmware loaders and other software.

- There's a good chance I'll write some K3 software & even have some I 
use regularly, but nothing I'd inflict on anyone in its present state.  
:-)  I'll post a note if & when I tackle something worthy of general use.

- While the code runs on major OSes, it's written in Java so I'm unable 
to make Windows-only .EXEs.  (I might offer Java JAR file bundles for 
download one of these days.)

I'll be emailing answers to more specific questions offlist as I catch 
up with email.  Thanks es 73!
