NAME
     aldo -  A fully console morse code trainer written in ISO C++.

SYNOPSIS
     aldo

DESCRIPTION
     Aldo  is  developed  from scratch in ISO C++ using GNU C++ Standard Library
     and libao (www.xiph.org/ao).
     It is a morse code learning tool which provides four type of training meth-
     ods:

     Blocks
	     Identify blocks of random characters played in morse code.

     Koch
	     Two morse characters will be played at full speed (20wpm)
	     until you'll be able to identify at least 90 percent of them.
	     After that, one more character will be added, and so on.

     File
	     Identify played characters generated from a file.

     Callsign
	     Identify random callsigns played in morse code.

NOTES
     The "Device" option under the keyer depends on the particular driver.   The
     "default"	setting picks the default sound device.  This option may be used
     to pick a different soundcard than the default one.

     For alsa, it is "hw:<card>,<device>", where the card and device number  are
     the  particular hardware devices.	The default is generally "hw:0.0".  Gen-
     erally 0 is the first card, 1 is the second, etc.	 Some  sound  cards  may
     have multiple output devices, the device picks the particular one.

     For oss, sun, and aixs, it is the device name, like /dev/dsp.

     For esd, it is the host name, like "whizbang.com:555".

     It is not used on any other drivers.
