No
It would be a big time-saver to have a post-install script that fills in the CALLSIGN and GRIDSQUARE/GPS to the config files of the programs installed.
This can be done with sed for example with a list of program configs that are recursively iterated over.
Things that need dynamic config, like sound cards used or whatnot, is up to the user, but it can save time to write a default config to XASTIR or PAT or whatnot with at least the maidenhead locator, gps coords, or the callsign of the user. Have the user enter it once, not 20x.
Thanks Andy.
I'm not inclined to go here. However, if someone from the community wishes to write such a program, I'd consider distributing it if it were licensed with a Free Software, Open Source, or compatible license.

It'll be on the back burner for me. When/if I finish it I will post it here for your use.
