Re: [wsjt-devel] Add ft8d and ft8sim to makefile?

[Steven F. <s.j...@ic...>]

Hi Rockwell,

The development routine ft8d is not what you want for a stand-alone command-line decoder. It is not kept up-to-date. Every now and then, when we are testing a new feature or debugging a particular issue, we’ll bring it up to date for that purpose. But at any given instant in time, it may not be functional. I believe that this is one of those instants. At present, it is not even being compiled.

For command-line decoding of saved wav files, jt9 with the -8 command-line option should do want you want.

For simulation, the ft8sim executable should be found in your build directory, assuming that you are building the development versions yourself.

73, Steve k9an

I'm no FORTRAN developer, but it appears that I could utilize the `ft8d` command-line utility to decode WAV files, and `ft8sim` to generate them. Is that a reasonable approach?
