Cwbiff is a notifier software that alerts the user about incoming mails by Morse code.
It supports IMAP (SSL optional) and mbox methods/protocols. However, functionality for POP3, maildir, etc. can be easily implemented. Those interested can drop a line for more information.
Cwbiff v0.2.0 starting... can be used to read configuration from /home/fabian/.cwbiff Method: imap, Server: mail.fkurz.net, Mailbox: INBOX User: fabian, Poll: 60, SSL: yes. A usage example given is when checking mail, and it shows an example of mail fm Fabian Kurz : Testing cwbiff... which is similar to mail fm Fabian Kurz : Another test!.
Cwbiff is written in Perl, and it invokes an external program to generate CW. One such program is morse.c, and other similar programs are available, for example, the "unixcw" package. The Perl part is platform independent and should run on any OS, while the morse part is only available for Linux/Unix. If anyone knows of a Windows program capable of doing the same as morse.c, etc. does (i.e. read text from STDIN and send it in CW), the software is open to suggestions.
