..just when I thought that I had mastered that jet-lag after two weeks..
OK, next try, now hopefully with the correct From: and To:

Hi there,
yes it's me, still occasionally browsing the mails from the mailing list.
As the one who first put Pronto Hex codes into concordance and congruity
I think it's about time for some clarification:

   The Pronto code input is available in congruity (implemented in the Python
code), which should also run on a MAC provided the corresponding Python
runtime and libconcord plus its Python bindings are available.

I also made a private version of concordance with Pronto code input back in
2008/9 with the Pronto stuff originally in a separate library (libir_remote,
somthing like that, have to look that up when I'm back home next week).

This library would eventually also include some more conversion stuff
between Pronto Hex, Logitech and different Standard codes (RC5, NEC, etc.).

I also posted a statically linked module to this mailing list for review
by Phil - somewhere around here:
<http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=22207296>

Since Phil, IIRC, was busy with other stuff that time, and we somehow didn't
come to a conclusion how to do it right, my Pronto implementation slowly
died and never made it into the mainline of concordance.

Somewhere in 2010, HellG from the German and the official Logitech Harmony
forums seems to have compiled the latter version and distributed a Windows
build, initially also with sources (at least of concordance - libconcord
didn't require any change for this). I apparently never bothered (up to now)
to check whether he was actually using my code.

A discussion about it (in German, with HellG and myself participating) can
be found in the German Harmony forum:
<http://www.harmony-remote-forum.de/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4915&start=15>
which also includes a link to an archive with sources:
<http://hellgi.funpic.de/concordance.zip> (still working)
Eventually a stripped version (without any sources, just the Windows exe
and dll) was put by HellG into the Logitech forum and from there spread
over the world:
<http://forums.logitech.com/t5/Harmony-Remotes-Programming/Adding-Pronto-codes-yourself-Windows-and-Linux/td-p/416808>
which is the unofficial, GPL-violating version we are now talking about.
