And although I'm supposedly subbed to his forum, I've heard nothing of a fix. And the forum effectively stops after his announcement that we should now use the deb.
Supposedly, it is now a deb, but it has never showed up in synaptic and I've trolled the forum looking for a deb link. I'm blind or its not there. Over on git-hub, his repo hasn't been touched in a year plus. Do I need to add another another line to my list of repo's? Or is the project now dead? Maybe someone can enlighten me as to what became of it? Here at the coyote.den I thought I had found a drawing I could write code from, published by NorComp, but it turns out that not all the data is on the drawings, some of it will have to be inferred by some trig, and while I think I've found the answer, I'll need to modify my code some more to actually use it correctly. If I get it right, changeing a var at the top of the file will switch it from a db9/15 to a db25/44. But its too late in the evening to play with that when the temp in the shop is about 45F.
