Hi,

I'm using ft8code.exe from 2.7.0-rc6 on Windows, and the 2.7.0-rc6 source
code

There is no -c

*     print*,'Program ft8code:  Provides examples of message packing, ',
    &*





*          'LDPC(174,91) encoding,'     print*,'bit and symbol ordering,
and other details of the FT8 protocol.'     print*     print*,'Usage:
ft8code [-c grid] "message"  # Results for specified message'     print*,'
      ft8code -T                   # Examples of all message types'*
*     print*,'       ft8code -t                   # Short format examples'*

There is no '-c' option. It's presented to the user when they
run ft8code.exe with no parameters, but that's it. Nowhere I can see in the
source code attempts to read the -c argument. You'll find checks for '-T'
and '-t' but none for '-c'. At best you'll encode "-c" as free text.

Not sure if '[-c grid]' refers to an option in a previous version, moved to
another program, or if it was included as an aspirational thing, but I'm
pretty sure '-c' doesn't do anything in the current version of ft8code (or
if it does I'd love to know how to trigger it)

Not 100% sure what it's meant to do, but the easy fix is just to remove the
text " [-c grid]".

Cheers,

Peter ("Pengo Wray") VK3PGO
