Window > Grey Line opens the world with the night on it. The dark area is
where the sun is down, and the band along its edge is the twilight from the
horizon to six degrees below it, which is the grey line an operator watches
for on the low bands.
Grayline works out where the sun stands: the subsolar point, the elevation at
a place, and the latitude the terminator crosses a meridian at, which is what
the map fills the night between. It is the same question SunTimes answers from
the other end, and the two are checked against each other in the tests.
The coastlines are Natural Earth's 110m coastline, public domain, cut to a
tenth of a degree.
Our own station is drawn from the grid square, the station being called and
the spots on the band from the country file. The map follows the clock.

MMTTY and 2Tone have no socket or pipe interface: N1MM hosts XMMT.ocx and
exchanges window messages with the engine. A Linux process cannot load that
control, so bridge/nonemm-mmtty-bridge.exe hosts it under Wine and passes
lines over its standard input and output. docs/digital-bridge.md states the
protocol and what the control needs.
The window is N1MM's: receive pane with coloured callsigns, grab list, call
stacking, twenty-four macro buttons and the engine controls. One left click
copies what is under it — a callsign to the callsign box, anything else to the
exchange box the contest keeps for that kind of value.
Config > Digital registers XMMT.ocx in the Wine prefix on its own, making the
prefix first if it is not there. The engine, the bridge and the control start
at the copies shipped beside the program.
The bridge reads the control's own events. OnTranslateMessage carries only the
messages the control has no event for, so nothing was ever decoded through it.
hamlib's data mode names read as digital modes now, and a mode typed into the
callsign box changes mode the way a frequency changes band, so a station with
no radio can reach RTTY at all.

The function keys send through cwdaemon or a WinKeyer, with N1MM's message
macros. Escape stops sending.
Settings are read with the reflection serializer rather than a generated one:
the generated one hands back null for every property the file leaves out
instead of the value the property is declared with, which crashed the program
the first time a new setting was added.

The entry window types contacts and colours them as they are typed; the log,
check, bandmap, score and packet windows read the same session. Contacts are
shared with the other stations of a multi-operator entry in N1MM's contact
message, so an N1MM station on the same network sees them too.
