[Ham-Mac] Morse Mania 2.5.0 Released

[Chris Smolinski]

While I suspect that most of us on this list already know the code, 
the added Applescript support may be of interest to some folks... I 
can see uses such as beacons, and other automated transmissions:


Black Cat Systems (http://www.blackcatsystems.com) announces that 
Morse Mania version 2.5.0 has been released and is now available. 
This version adds Applescript support, allowing Morse Mania to be 
used in an automated fashion to send morse code from other 
applications. This version also adds the ability to change the 
frequency (tone) of the generated audio, as well as several bug fixes.

Morse Mania is a morse code tutor for the Macintosh. The software 
package helps you learn morse code at speeds ranging from 5 to 40 
words per minute. Morse Mania is ideal for amateur (ham) radio 
operators who desire to learn or improve their morse code 
proficiency, especially in order to upgrade their license class.

In addition to drills to help learn the various characters, Morse 
Mania also allows complete text files to be sent, so that "real life" 
messages can be used for practice.

It also supports the Farnsworth mode, which increases the speed of 
the dots and dashes, and lengthens the pause between letters sent, 
allowing the student to learn morse code at higher speeds more easily.

Finally, it allows the use of the Koch method of learning the code, 
considered by many to be the easiest way to learn high speed morse 
code.

Morse Mania 2.5.0 is available for MacOSX, and MacOS8/9. Versions for 
older Mac OS systems are also available.

Morse Mania is shareware. A copy of Morse Mania may be downloaded 
from the Morse Mania web site. The URL is
