The LinKT Manual: Introduction

## What is LinKT?

LinKT is the Linux KDE Packet Radio Terminal.

Jochen gave up a lot of his spare time, took some ideas from his packet software for the LinuX-textmode, named `GNOM` and created LinKT which combines the advantages of a graphical environment with functionality which easily outdoes hostmode software "running" under DOS/Windows. This functionality includes remote commands which depend on the callsign of the connected station, as well as 7plus-autosave, AutoBIN-filetransfer and automatic identification of the remote station's software

I personally am keeping my fingers out of the source code (which probably is better for all of us, hi!)
I have written the LinKT Handbook using GNU Emacs 20.3.1 (X toolkit) and refering to the selfhtml-document (German!).

### Note by the translator

Please mail any suggestions about the translation, such as corrections for spelling errors, unclear paragraphs, inappropriate idioms to the translator. If you know another language and feel motivated to do a translation, please go ahead! If you contact me I will give you read access to our cvs where we store the most current version of this documentation. We are very grateful about any contributions.
The LinKT program itself is nearly complete internationalized. You can adopt to your language (localize it) by translating the files in the `linkt/po/` directory. btw: I am using XEmacs 20.4 ;-).
