Hi Andrew,<br>
<br>
Linux distro OpenSuSE 12.1 running here. Unfurled the archive and
launched the app, and this is what I got... There's what I expect
is a splash screen picture of sorts in the middle of the monitor,
and mousing over it gives a "busy" indication. Been this way for a
few minutes now, and Top says pretty much nothing is running (at
least, not consuming much CPU). <br>
<br>
Let me know how I can help troubleshoot.<br>

Greetings, all.<br>
<br>
After weeks of waiting for the lawyers at my day-job employer to
finish with the red tape, I now legally own my APRS program, so
I can give it out now.<br>
<br>
YAAC ("Yet Another APRS Client") is an APRS client application
intended for PC's, MacOSX, and Linux (and possibly some other
platforms). It provides all the basic functionality one would
expect from an APRS client, including interfacing both to
TNCs/GPSs and to the Tier 2 APRS-IS servers, and has standalone
mapping built in (no Internet connection required for map
displays) that is pannable and zoomable without a separate
mapping program. It supports multiple simultaneously-connected
TNCs and digipeating.<br>
<br>
Other features include:<br>
<ul>
<li>map display mode</li>
<li>sortable tabular reporting of all heard stations, objects,
and raw messages<br>
</li>
<li>4 different ways of looking at messages</li>
<li>support for the New-N digipeating paradigm with standard
aliases built-in and regional aliases user-enterable<br>
</li>
<li>9 different ways of filtering message traffic to isolate
specific data</li>
<li>automatic timestamped logging of both received and
transmitted messages<br>
</li>
<li>a plugin architecture allowing drop-in extensions</li>
<li>built on top of other open source products, such as
OpenStreetMap, rxtx, and JavaHelp</li>
<li>compatible with any KISS or TNC2-compliant TNC, including
the built-in TNCs in Kenwood radios</li>
<li>designed for plug-in I18N localized prompts and display
messages<br>
</li>
</ul>
<br>
I plan on releasing YAAC as open-source (yes, you will be able
to see and modify the source code) under the Lesser Gnu Public
License as soon as I've resolved any major issues reported by
the alpha-testers (hint, hint). In the meantime, the
alpha-testers will receive ready-to-run binary distributions
while I fix any reported bugs, finish writing the online help,
and bring the source code into full compliance with the LGPL.<br>
<br>
So, anyone who would like to help get this ready for prime-time
usage, please sign up on the Yahoo group <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/yaac-alpha-testers">yaac-alpha-testers</a>
(targeted at supporting the alpha-test effort) and visit my
website to get the alpha-test distribution and instructions.<br>

<br>
(No, that's not a bogus URL; I'm piggybacking off the amateur
theater website [another Java application] I also wrote and
run.)<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance for your help. Bug reports and suggestions for
improvements and enhancements welcome.<br>

APRS application (currently code-named YAAC, for "Yet Another
APRS Client" :-) waiting to be pounded on by experts in the
field. It is not ready for full release quite yet (still have
some source code clean-up and a few missing sub-features to
add), but I would like to know if I'm doing the right thing or
have majorly stumbled down the wrong path in my development
efforts.<br>
> <br>
> So, I'd be interested in having Bob (and any others in
the core of APRS development who are interested and have the
time) take a whack at using my app, and tell me where I need
to improve and/or correct it before I let it out to the
general public.<br>
> <br>
> How is this sort of thing done here? I'm not ready to
hand out source code yet (the innards aren't stable enough to
have others tinker yet), but I can easily ship a zip file that
unpacks a runnable distribution. <br>
> <br>
> Known working platforms are Windows XP (NTFS filesystems
only, for some weird reason) and Fedora Core Linux (releases
13 and 15, with a hack needed on 15). It should work on any
32-bit Windows or Linux distro with Java installed, and
theoretically should work on MacOSX too. It can listen to
APRS-IS servers, and both receive and transmit through KISS
(or KISSable by TNC2 command) TNC's, and listen to Kenwood
radios in APRS mode (Kenwood firmware doesn't seem to allow
transmitting APRS from the radio and a computer
simultanously). It also works with NMEA 0183-compliant GPS
receivers (not yet with gpsd in the way). App configuration is
done inside the app with a configuration GUI; no need to
hand-edit config files.<br>
