NAME

       morsegen - convert file to ASCII morse code

SYNOPSIS

         morsegen <file>

DESCRIPTION

       This program implements the International Morse Code Standard by converting ASCII text file into morse
       code ASCII notation.

       Morse code was created for the telegraph in the early 1840s. Morse code uses a standardized sequence of
       short and long elements to represent the letters, numerals, punctuation and special characters of a given
       message.

       The morse code standard does not define all characters in ASCII table therefore translation of file into
       morse notation is only an approximation. The following special translation have been used:

           ASCII           Morse prosign
           ------------    ------------------
           ' ' (space)     Invitation to transmit
           \t              Starting signal
           \r              Wait
           \n              End of work
