[Ham-Mac] What are WSJT modes?

[N1OFZ]

There is a linux version of WSJT called WS Tools (http://www.qsl.net/ 
g4klx/software.htm).  It would probably not be too difficult to  
recompile under OS X though it would probably have to run under X11.   
It needs libsndfile, FFTW and wxWidgets all which will currently  
compile under OS X.  Unfortunately WS Tools does not appear to have  
been updated since 6/2004 so I'm not sure it would be worth the effort.

A few years ago at I talked to Joe at the Eastern VHF/UHF Conference  
and he said he has no problem seeing his software developed on other  
platforms.  As a matter of fact he said he would prefer not to run  
Windows himself!

The biggest challenge I see to bringing it to OS X would be the gui.   
I'm not an Objective C programmer and probably don't have the skill  
to write the gui but I'm sure it could be done.  I can tell you I  
just downloaded JT65code source from Joe's site and it compiled and  
executed fine on OS X.

Hopefully some day we will see it on OS X.
