That's the right group Ken. As far as I know, there's no FT-100D support
in Hamlib. However, if you're saying the FT-817 has the same protocol,
that's going to be pretty easy. Chris (AA1VL) wrote the FT-817 support.
Chris, do you have some insight on the FT-100D?
Anyway, everything you need is the manual of your rig with the protocol
documentation, and a fresh checkout of the hamlib cvs repository.
Have a look in the yaesu/ directory, especially yaesu/ft817.c.
Check if protocols are the same, and try at best to share code among rigs.
Provided you have created yaesu/ft100.c, tweaked yaesu/Makefile.am and
rebuild everything, testing with "rigctl -vvvv -m 121" should lead you on
the path of rig control. And let us know how it works out, and we're there 
to help with the code or understanding it if needed.
