Some minor bugs were fixed.
Some minor bugs were fixed.

The ~[lf] macrosequence can be used to insert a new line (CR+LF) into Input window now. It is transmitted just as space.

Documentation was updated.
Some minor changes were made.
The “Setup” menu was fully rewritten.
RigExpert interface and control via OmniRig are supported now.
Some minor options were added.
Some minor bugs were fixed.
Macrosequences for the CwGet software control were made :
~[rpNN] - to replay last NN seconds;
~[svNN] - to save last NN seconds to a wave file;
~[svpNN] - to save last NN seconds to a wave file and replay it.
These macrosequences work with CwGet 1.39 and later.
CwType can generate sound via soundcard now. Soundcard generated signal has sine waveform and smooth edges of envelope, so it can be used to form CW signal by SSB transmitter.
Manipulation stability at slow computers was improved.
The “Tune” command was made.
It sends a continuous key down to tune the transmitter.
Hotkey for this command is
A method to switch beacon from AALog was implemented.
The ButtonsRows, ButtonsColumns, ButtonsHeight parameters
of the [Screen] section
of the CWTYPE.INI file define macros buttons arrangement and size.
Some minor bugs were fixed.
Macrosequences were made:
~[ce] or `[ce] - to clear edit fields;
~[csnt] or `[csnt] - to clear sent symbols window
Macrosequences for increment of numbers in the edit fields were made:
~[nic] or `[nic] - to increment a number in the "Call" field;
~[nir] or `[nir] - to increment a number in the "RST" field;
~[nin] or `[nin] - to increment a number in the "Name" field;
~[nio] or `[nio] - to increment a number in the "Other" field.
Macrosequences for logger control were made:
~[lgc] or `[lgc] - to clear all fields, except "Date", "Band" and "Mode" in the "New QSO" window of the AALog;
~[lgt] or `[lgt] - to set current time and date in the "New QSO" logger window;
~[lgs] or `[lgs] - to save QSO into the log;
~[lgts] or `[lgts] - to set current time and date and save QSO.
The
New macrosecuences were added:
~[su] or `[su] - to increase speed;
~[sd] or `[sd] - to decrease speed;
~[spNNN] or `[spNNN] - to set speed of NNN LPM;
~[ss] or `[ss] - to save current speed to memory;
~[sr] or `[sr] - to restore speed from memory.
Please, think twice before using this macrosequences! It is too hard to receive morse code with variable speed usually.
Logger can set speed and inter-letter space via special messages now.

The “File > Open Capture File” command opens
The “File > Close Capture File” command closes
A bug was fixed.
A bug was fixed.
The “Setup > Beacon Off At Paddle Press” option was made.

More universal
You can use
The program works
“Esc”,
There are 37 keyboard macros now. User can edit text on macros buttons via “Setup > Edit Macros” menu. Font parameters of that text can be changed via “Setup > Macro Buttons Font Setup” menu.
Bug
Once more hotkey
Data transfer from CwType to AALog logger
Data are transferred from “Call”, “RST” or “Name” edit field after exiting from it.
Data transfer from CwGet program into “Call” and “Name” edit fields was made.
Font parameters and background color of input window and sent symbol window can be changed.
Keyword “Weighting”
It is used to eliminate morse elements clipping by some transmitters with QSK.
Not only serial (COM), but parallel (LPT) port may be used for transceiver control now.
User can vary speaker tone now (Keyword “SpeakerTone”
Keying speed can be varied in band
MOX with a lot options was made (“Setup > MOX On”,“Setup > MOX Setup > …”).
Options “Setup > Pause On At Paddle Press” and “Setup > Pause Off At TX Off” were made.
Minor changes in program interface were made.
Minor modifications were made to improve cooperation with programs AALog and CwGet.
The option “to be in front of all windows” was made.
For they operators which don#146;t use good logger (as AALog) edit fields “Call”, “RST”, “Name”, “Other” and macrosequences for its using was made.
More adequate behavior at windows resizing.
Macrosequences for control of transmission process (“TX”, “RX”, “Pause”, “Clear the Buffer”) was added.
Sizes and coordinates of windows are saving on the command “Setup > Save setup”.
Combined
The bug was corrected — complementarily of buttons “Yamb” and “Pause”.
A possibility to disable iambic mode (memory of a unit of the char) was added. A regulated
Further development of interaction with the AALog program was made.
The messaging with AALog logger was realized.
The macrosequences was realized.
The bug was corrected — “Save setup” command resulted that the installations of keyboard macros were lost sometimes.
The first public version was released.
