About the hardware

This software was written to control the AIMS Lab RadioTrack 
FM Stereo Radio Card. The Card is an 8-bit ISA card. For 
programming information take a look at card.c 

The author acknowledges all rights of AIMS Lab which he has been able
to understand.

From the bottom of the RadioTrack box: 

"(c) 1994 AIMS Lab, Inc. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. AIMS Lab, the AIMS 
 Lab logo and RadioTrack are trademarks of AIMS Lab, Inc. All other
 trademarks and registered trademarks are those of their respective 
 companies."
 
I won't say any more about that, except that the manual that was supplied
to me was in German, so nothing inside the manual applies to me until I 
receive a copy of the manual in a language I can understand.

I don't know if the software will work with other makes of radio card.
Anybody who tries this please let me know. 
 

About the software

I wrote this software because I wanted to control my RadioTrack card
from Linux. 

The software in this package was written to control the RadioTrack
card from Linux. The software was written on Linux (kernel 1.1.18)
and was compiled with gcc 2.5.8. 

I release the source in the hope that it will be useful to somebody
else. I ask only for my rights as author of this source be acknowledged
and that I be credited if my source or parts of it is used. Finding
out how the RadioTrack card must be programmed took a lot of time
and effort.

THERE IS NO WARRANTY ON THIS SOFTWARE OR ANY FILES CONTAINED IN THE
ARCHIVE AT ALL AND THE AUTHOR IS NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU OR OTHERS
SUFFER IN ANY WAY DUE TO THE USE OR MISUSE OF THE SOFTWARE.

Comments about and improvements to and suggestions about the program 
I wrote are welcome. If you want to know _why_ I did something in a
certain way, please ask. Before this project I have not programmed in
C for two years, so please let me know if anything is very wrong.

Acknoledgements

Many thanks to Walter Prins (prins@cs.sun.ac.za) for his help with 
decrypting the card's operation. Without his help figuring out how
to program the card would have taken much longer. Thanks to Walter
for teaching me flex.
