OK Walt, of course you are right... It is nice to have an arq mode available also for keyboarding. But I would prepare a complete document with the editor before sending it:) The pskmail k-to-k mode has not been tested properly, and should be regarded as experimental. But first tests have shown that it matches PSK31 typing speed, and will deliver the text unmutilated. Unless AMTOR ARQ, which did not have a 0% error guarantee. Pskmail uses a CRC-16 for each segment. It is nice to have to type your text only once even if the QSO is being jammed... I will not put time into jazzing up the user interface until people start using it (which may take a lot of time as nobody likes stuff that is free).
