quest is a file transfer application that is based on the
ARQ specification developed
by Paul Schmidt, K9PS. It is capable of transmitting
and receiving frames of ARQ data via either vbdigi on Window, or fldigi
on Linux. The interaction
between flarq and vbdigi/fldigi requires no operator
intervention. On the Windows OS the
two programs exchange data and command sets using files that both
programs recognize. On the Linux OS the exchange is made using the
System-V Message Queue. This process is totally transparent to
the
user. The programs can be executed in either order. It is
only necessary that both be executing concurrently for the process to
work.
The ARQ transfer must take place between two systems both of which are
running the flarq/vbdigi (or the flarq/fldigi in Linux) combination. The ARQ specification and
the source code for flarq are LGPL licensed. Other developers
wishing to duplicate or expand upon the flarq ARQ implementation may
