MicroFox Config GPL is a program to allow the user
to modify the behavior of the Micro-Fox 15 fox hunting
transmitter by Byonics, LLC.

http://www.byonics.com

I personally thought the Micro-Fox 15 was a cool device after 
seeing one that was owned by a fellow ham.

I asked the people at Byonics, LLC if I could have access to the necessary
information in order to write this program.  They very generously
agreed!  Thank you!!

I chose FLTK for two reasons:
  a) I have familiarity with it after writing another program
  b) FLTK is a cross platform toolkit

Please not that as of this writing, this software has only been
tested on a computer running Linux.  I do not own computers that
run any other operating system.  I would like to hear stories from
people who attempt to compile and run this software on any other
operating system.

Installation
============

This program was developed on Ubuntu 12.04.3 using gcc version 4.6.3.

The following packages are required to properly build this software.
The versions are those used by the developer.

  - libfltk1.3-dev FLTK, version 1.3.x

  - libmhash-dev   mhash for CRC32 calculation, version 0.9.9.9

On an Ubuntu system, try these commands (as root or with sudo):
  apt-get update
  apt-get install libfltk1.3-dev
