Hello All, I have a program called Supermorse which to me seems the best one around, it is on a disc and runs on my laptop. I would like to put it on a usb stick which I have and put it on a small portable device such as mu android phone or any other easily carried device, any ideas would be welcome. I am over 80 and not up with the latest technology so please keep it simple. Thank you all.
 
Hi,
I am not familiar with the program.  Is it just audio?  I am sure there would be no problem loading audio files to a smartphone.  If it is a computer program, that may be different.  It would have to work in the operating system of your phone. 
 
Hello, Thank you for the reply. It is an audio program but there are many features in it that I have not explored. Some years ago it had to be paid for but it is now free to anyone. Just type supermorse into the net and you will find it. I am just getting back into morse after many years away and find this is the best program that I have seen. I have been told that it is a DOS program whatever that means but it runs well on windows 10. I used it on windows pro many years ago. There may be ways to get it to run on android but that is beyond me. Do let me know what you think of it. 
 
Hiya William.

Wow, SuperMorse! The first time I came across that program was when it was given away on the the February 1995 edition of Ham Radio Today magazine (I think I still have the floppy disc floating around somewhere here).

You're quite right about it being a DOS program (DOS = Disk Operating System). Although MS-DOS (Microsoft DOS) is possibly about the most famous system, there was also IBM-DOS, and maybe a few other ones too.

I had a look around the web because I'd never heard of anyone running DOS programs on Android, but amazingly it is a 'thing'. The program (or 'App') you require is called "Magic DOSBOX", and you can find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=bruenor.magicbox.free&hl=en_GB&gl=US

There is also another DOS emulator for Android called "DOS Box Turbo" which you can find info about here: https://sites.google.com/site/dosboxturbo/home/beginning-dosbox-turbo-for-newbies

If you search Google etc, for "dos games on android", or "android dosbox" and so on, you will find a good number of links to sites showing how to install and use the various DOS emulators on your Android device.

Once you have an emulator running you can then install your SuperMorse program via the DOS emulator program (emulator programs simply convert the DOS code into something that Android can understand, and vice versa, think of it as a 'translator' between the two systems).

You may find that there is a modern equivalent of SuperMorse already written for Android, the web seems full of Morse Code Apps these days! :)

Hello, Thank you for the reply and all the information. There is another one called THE MILL but I cannot get that to run on anything. My computer has windows 10 on it . Supermorse runs ok on it.
