SYNOPSIS

  morsegen <file>

DESCRIPTION

This program implements the International Morse Code Standard by converting \s-1ASCII\s0 text file into morse code \s-1ASCII\s0 notation.

Morse code was created for the telegraph in the early 1840s. Morse code uses a standardized sequence of short and long elements to represent the letters, numerals, punctuation and special characters of a given message.

The morse code standard does not define all characters in \s-1ASCII\s0 table therefore translation of file into morse notation is only an approximation. The following special translation have been used:

ASCII Morse prosign ------------ ------------------ ' ' (space) Invitation to transmit \t Starting signal \r Wait \n End of work
