 Hi Larry,

   when writing 'badly designed' I was not referring specifically to
the soft66, but it was a general sentence. While I haven't personally
tested that kit, I read of many good experiences with it.

 About Winrad, the only alternative to releasing the source would be
to let it die, which, IMHO, is even worse. There are good reasons why
I don't want to work on it anymore, and I think that allowing those
who can and are willing to improve it, is the best solution.

 There will be two forms of releasing the source code.
Those who want and like to participate in a joint development effort,
can (will be able to) access an SVN repository that will be hosted by
the winrad.org Web site.

 Those who just want to browse the code for curiosity, or to do a
development of their own, without being involved in a joint
development effort, will be able to download from the weaksignals.com
Web site a ZIP file containing all what is needed to compile Winrad
(compiler excluded, of course, being it commercial). The ZIP will be
freely downloadable, no questions asked, no need to register anywhere.
