perlblast

a Perl-Tk implementation of galblast/atfblast that uses the parport device (even via USB!)

I came to write it because I wanted to be able to program GAL's a simple way in Linux. galblast.exe and atfblast.exe are both running on Windows only.

The file README2 is the main information about the project. As said I am neither a (very) good Perl programmer or very fluent in English. So help on both area's will be grateful.

'perlblast' at this moment still has some rough ends but I like to add refinements from myself and others over time. The basic functionality is there.

Known issues's:

• blow security fuse not yet implemented
• some values after user edit are not applied to the programming itself
• file checksum is calculated but neither checked or added

The fuse checksum is generated and checked correctly.

For use on Windows: install StrawBerry Perl. with cpan: install Tk and install Time::HiRes

The 'parport' access method works without any problem on Windows XP. You need to have an LPT port on your system of course.
