+.Sh NAME
+.Nm morse
+.Nd reformat input as morse code
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm
+.Op Fl p
+.Op Fl d Ar device
+.Op Fl e
+.Op Fl w Ar speed
+.Op Fl f Ar frequency
+.Op Fl s
+.Op Ar string ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The command
+.Nm
+read the given input and reformat it in the form of morse code.
+Acceptable input are command line arguments or the standard input.
+.Pp
+Available options:
+.Bl -tag -width flag
+.It Fl s
+The
+.Fl s
+option produces dots and dashes rather than words.
+.It Fl p
+Send morse the real way. This only works if your system has
+.Xr speaker 4
+support.
+.It Fl w Ar speed
+Set the sending speed in words per minute. If not specified the default
+speed of 20 WPM is used.
+.It Fl f Ar frequency
+Set the sidetone frequency to something other than the default 600 Hz.
+.It Fl d Ar device
+Similar to
+.Fl p ,
+but use the RTS line of
+.Ar device
+.Pq which must by a tty device
+in order to emit the morse code.
+.It Fl e
+echo each character before it is sent, used together with either
+.Fl p
+or
+.Fl d .
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Fl w
+and
+.Fl f
+flags only work in conjunction with either the
+.Fl p
+or the
+.Fl d
+flag.
+.Pp
+Not all prosigns have corresponding characters. Use
+.Ql #
+for
+.Em AS ,
+.Ql @
+for
+.Em SK ,
+.Ql *
+for
+.Em VE
+and
+.Ql %
+for
+.Em BK .
+The more common prosigns are
+.Ql =
+for
+.Em BT ,
+.Ql (
+for
+.Em KN
+and
+.Ql +
+for
+.Em AR .
+.Pp
+Using flag
+.Fl d Ar device
+it is possible to key an external device, like a sidetone generator with
+a headset for training purposes, or even your ham radio transceiver. For
+the latter, simply connect an NPN transistor to the serial port
+.Ar device ,
+emitter connected to ground, base connected through a resistor
+(few kiloohms) to RTS, collector to the key line of your transceiver
+(assuming the transceiver has a positive key supply voltage and is keyed
+by grounding the key input line). A capacitor (some nanofarads) between
+base and ground is advisable to keep stray RF away, and to supress the
+minor glitch that is generated during program startup.
+.Sh FILES

+.It Pa /dev/speaker

+.Sh ENVIRONMENT
+.Bl -tag -width LC_CTYPE -compact
+.It Ev LC_CTYPE
+.It Ev LC_ALL
+.It Ev LANG
+If one of these variables (in this priority) is set to a locale ending in
+.Ql KOI8-R ,
+characters with the high-order bit set are being interpreted as
+Cyrillic characters. In all other cases, they are being interpreted
+as belonging to the
+.Ql ISO_8859-1
+character set.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr speaker 4
+.Sh HISTORY
+Sound support for
+.Nm
+added by
+.An Lyndon Nerenberg (VE7TCP/VE6BBM) Aq lyndon@orthanc.com .
+.Pp
+Ability to key an external device added by
+.An J\(:org Wunsch
+(DL8DTL).
+.Sh BUGS
+Does only understand a few European characters (namely German and
+French), but neither Asian ones, or the continental landline code.
+.Pp
+Sends a bit slower than it should due to system overhead. Some people
+would call this a feature.
