Thanks Chuck and Waldek. I guess you did misunderstand me. The idea is not
to simply remote control the GUI. Of course this could be done using VNC or
similar software which exists on every platform. The idea is to use the
existing functionality of the program WSJT-X to *automate* some higher level
functions built around the bare single message transport mechanism of
WSJT-X. If you have to copy a clear text message - say, 160 characters, the
size of an SMS - you have to *manually* fragment the message into pieces of
13 character each and transmit them one by one. The fragmentation could
easily be done by a software built around WSJT-X. Additionally every
fragment could be confirmed and repeated if necessary by this software. But
to implement it a suitable interface within WSJT-X is missing today. The
most simple way to realize it might be using a sockets server component
within WSJT-X.
Background: last week a colleague of mine was /p in ZL and we could
establish a daily communication between HB and ZL (18'800 kms) at power
levels of 100 mW in JT65A (no, it's not a typo, the setting was really 100
mW). Both stations wished to have a software to make the exchange of longer
texts a bit more comfortable. ;-)

If you run wsjtx on Linux you can remote control it with VNC.
The VNC server runs on Linux. VNC clients are available for
Windows and Linux.

Hello All
Just to think aloud: would it be a huge effort to implement a kind of simple
remote controlling interface for WSJT-X for example by means of a socket
connection ? I imagine a kind of mechanism to issue commands remotely from a
third party software like setting the audio frequencies for RX and TX,
enabling/disabling transmission, setting the message contents, et cetera and
also to receive the contents of decoded messages along with frequency
information by that third party software. If something like this would exist
WSJT-X could serve as a virtual TNC and it would be possible to build higher
level low speed communication applications (i. e. ARQ transmission of free
text messages longer than 13 characters with automatic fragmentation and
defragmentation) using WSJT as a reusable software unit and without the
necessity to reinvent the wheel.
I am a (not yet retired) software engineer and for the moment I cannot
afford the time to familiarize myself with the development system used by
WSJT. WSJT-X as a virtual TNC would allow to engage an already known
development system for the implementation of a higher level application like
the one mentioned above ;-).
Any statements are welcome.
