Well I have posted it into the files section.

It was based on 1.49 with some formatting changes and a lot of casts.

If I get time I will look at the reason for all the casts.

It is untested, you may want to use it diff it against 1.49 to see
what I have done, in case I have introduced some bugs.

I guess a lot of people here do not know c++ ????

I think the application would benefit a lot from being split into 4 to
5 c files and gaining a few h files as well. It would make it much
easier to port and maintain.

The sort of thing I am talking about is splitting out the low level
programming code for the Philips chips from the Analog Devices. I
think the Linux specific stuff could go in a separate file and that
would make it more readable.

I could give it a go if nobody objected.
