    Hi!

    I'm just starting to learn morse code (newbie mode on :P), and thought
    it'd be a good idea to install unixcw on my linuxbox and listen to
    some random texts to learn.

    However, that project hasn't gone that well: First, it seems like
    without a "-g 1" or somesuch, all long beeps just beed together into
    one infinite one. Secondly, and far worse, the codes all seem garbled
    up:

    echo -n S | cw -g 1 -t 200

    beeps out daw-di, that is, an N

    echo -n O | cw -g 1 -t 200

    beeps out di-di-di-di-di, that is a 5...

    Any ideas what's wrong?
