//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
PSK31 is an amateur radio communications mode introduced by Peter Martinez, G3PLX, that uses phase modulation and special character coding.  It allows robust narrow bandwidth keyboard Chat type communications between two or more stations.  

WinPSK evolved as a result of experimenting with methods to develop and program various DSP communications algorithms using a standard Windows based PC platform.  WinPSK went from basically a DSP test bed to a simple functioning program for PSK31.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
                           Program Installation
The program consists of an executable file WinPSK.exe and a library file "PSKCore.dll".  This file can be placed anywhere but is probably best to create a new folder(directory) for it say at C:\WinPSK\.  
If online help is desired then you also need the file WinPSK.hlp  and  WinPSK.cnt to also be in the same directory.  
Once the program has been run once, Windows will create a few other files if Help is used.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
                            Program Removal
To remove this program, just delete all the files in the folder where WinPSK.exe resides.

Purists may also want to run Regedit and look in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software folder for a registry key called AE4JY Software, select it and hit delete and your system should no longer have any knowledge of WinPSK.   Leaving this key may eat up a few bytes of disk space but will not affect any other programs.  If you look at the list of programs in this folder you will probably find remnants of all sorts of old programs.
