[linrad] WSE Controller

[Alberto di Bene <usa.net; dibene@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have written a simple program to send commands through the parallel
port to the WSE boxes to set the frequency. It is meant to be run under
Windows 98SE, 2000 or XP. I hope it can prove useful to all those who
are testing the Windows version of Linrad and have the WSE boxes.
Hopefully it works ok, I don't have that hardware (too expensive for my budget),
but looking at the schematics I think to have got it right. And, for good
measure, it has been tested by a couple of OMs who do have the HW...

The program is written using the C++Builder compiler from Borland, which
accepts VCL components. What has been used to allow the parallel port
communication in Win 2000 and XP is a kernel-mode driver, written by
a guy in Pascal adhering to the VCL standards. C++Builder permits to
import, compile and use Delphi 5 (Pascal) VCL components.
Unfortunately I don't think that the mingw compiler used by Leif has that
feature, otherwise that driver could have been also included in Linrad.

The installer for the WSE controller program can be downloaded from :
