Well, boys and girls. I've made a discovery.

	There is no DCS support in the Linux software which is
why nothing related to DCS has worked.
It appears development stopped 2 years ago almost to the day
after a really great start. Read the TODO message below and you
will see that DCS had not yet been tackled.

	Too bad because it sure rocks with analog tones.

	I will see if I can figure out enough of the structure
of the program to possibly support DCS but I am not making any
promises. The alternative is that silent gosh-awful process of
punching buttons with no feedback at all and hoping one doesn't
push the wrong key and then spend a week trying to untangle the
mess.

	At least none of the amateur repeaters I know of around
here have anything other than analog tones so that is a good
thing.

	I am sure the guys working on this software got pulled
away to more pressing tasks about 2 years ago. Anyway, here is
the TODO message.

/* $Id: TODO 3 2011-03-14 14:05:30Z gophi $ */

- use some version control system (possibly SVN; files already have rcsid tags)
- discover how frequency ranges are coded
- add support to Windows .tw files
- add support to DCS
- add support to TEAM 2 broadcast bank
- port autodetection (probably as a shell script)
- make installation more flexible (instead of hard-coded /usr/local/)
- install documentation as well as binaries
- write manual page/pages
- some autoconf/automake machinery (is it really needed?)
- i18n (see intl.h)
- grep for xxx in sources - these are places to return to
