My guess is that you may simply need to change the call3.txt
file from DOS format to *nix format, i.e.,
C:> dos2unix call3.txt
You can do the conversion in Linux, if your Windows
installation does not have the "dos2unix" utility.
This is only a guess ...
See you at MUD (Microwave Update) tomorrow!

Hello, All,
I am trying to set up the EME Window on Linrad for Windows and having
difficulty.
I have re-discovered the following:
1. Linrad wants the emedirectory to be C:\emedir, NOT \home\emedir or
C:\home\emedir as in Linux [not documented that I can see].
2. dir.skd is no longer available on the net. At least I couldn't find
it. Even af9y's links for it are broken.
3. If call3.txt is either copied from a wsjt download or downloaded from
http://www.bigskyspaces.com/w7gj/tracker.htm and placed in the emedir,
Linrad rejects it with the error:
[1230]routine:init_eme_database file:eme.c Failed to read CALL3.TXT
Excessive line length or field too long.
4. The reference page
http://www.sm5bsz.com/linuxdsp/run/emewin.htm
makes no mention of the fact that linrad may potentially use call3.txt,
but only mentions the now essentially defunct dir.skd, eme.dta, and
allcalls.dta files. I thought I remembered that as a result of a
previous posting linrad would work with call3.txt, but was stymied by #4
above.
I am very suspicious that all of this is old information and that I am
having a major deja vu experience, but figured I would send this to the
list after Google failed to give me what I need ;)
All of this came about as I was preparing to give a lecture and 'how to'
session on Linrad tomorrow. I guess I'll skip the eme window, at least
from Windows ;)
[Yes I have everything working from Linux including the EME Window]
