Hi Sverre and all,
I just recompiled the programs so that Java Web Start is no longer used.
I have only a linux machine to test things on, so can't guarantee
things will run properly on other OSes at this point. Please email me
offlist if things don't run.
A few quick things about http://udel.edu/~mm/ham/elecraft/ :
1. Executables are now available as a zip file.
2. Source is now available as a .tar.bz2 file.
3. W1 also works with a W2 but not KAT500 despite a menu entry.
4. Please don't judge these spare time efforts too harshly. :-)
5. GUI work was often created with netbeans, so the netbeans-generated
code is ugly when viewed with something other than it.
Regarding (4), these are programs that work for me, but have not
undergone any sort of serious testing. If you improve upon them, I'd
love to get your updates! For the coders, a word of warning that
internal documentation is often somewhat, ah, lacking...
Tnx es 73,
Mike ab3ap

Hi Mike
Good to hear from you. I don't really know what it takes to make the
programs more useful. All I know is that everything that has to do with Java
has gotten more and more difficult to use, especially for Windows users. I
am running Windows 7 here myself.
Therefore, after quite some struggle with browsers and security, it was a
relief to find out that I could run the K2 Settings Retrieval Software from
the command line in Windows by just typing in
javaws params.jnlp
after having downloaded params.jnlp to my harddisk. I realize that the
security issues are caused by calls to your website. If a 100% local program
could do the same, then perhaps that would make it simpler, but I am just a
user, not a developer of these things, so I don't really know what it takes.
