The linux trlog version is getting closer to being ready for prime time.
It now has Winkeyer support as well as the usual TR parallel and serial
keying. Serial ports can be USB to serial adapters or old style hardware
serial ports. It currently only supports the same rigs as DOS TR.

If you are running linux, you can download it from the files section
of the yahoo trlinux group at <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/trlinux/>

For Windows users who would like to try this out, one way that will not
change anything on your computer is to boot a live linux version from
a USB flash drive. Here is what I have tried and it works
for me. It takes less than 250 MBytes of space on the flash drive.

On a Windows PC:

1. Go to <http://www.slax.org>
2. Click on Download and download the 32 bit ZIP version of Slax English (US).
This should save the file slax-English-US-7.0.8-i486.zip
2. Click on Modules then click on libaries. Download the 32-bit versions of
   A. flac
   B. libieee1284
   C. libsndfile
This should save the files 2655-flac.sb, 558-libieee1284.sb, and
2615-libsndfile.sb. These libraries are needed by trlog.
3. Go to <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/trlinux>. Click on join this group
if you are not a member already.
4. Navigate to Files and download trlinux_r0.17.sb
5. Plug in a USB flash drive, and
   A. Unzip slax-English-US-7.0.8-i486.zip at the top level of the flash drive.
      There should be a new folder slax.
   B. Copy or drag and drop the four sb files (2655-flac.sb,
      558-libieee1284.sb, 2615-libsndfile.sb, and trlinux_r0.17.sb) into the
      slax\modules folder.
6. Navigate to slax\boot and double click bootinst.bat to make the USB flash
   drive bootable.
7. Reboot your computer leaving the flash drive plugged in,
   telling it to boot from the USB drive. Most computers will tell you to hit
   a key like F12 or DEL for a "boot menu". Choose your USB flash drive as the
   boot device.
8. Once it has booted up into slax, double click on the "tr live
   quickstart" icon on the desktop for brief instructions on how to run trlog
   under linux. Essentially, just double on the "small trlog window" icon.
