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.

A CQ is answered by more than one station. N1MM lets the operator put the
others on a stack and work them one after another; this is that, with N1MM's
keys and macros.
Ctrl+Alt+G and {STACKANOTHER} put the call being typed on the stack and clear
the boxes. Alt+G brings the top call back. Alt+D drops it. {SOCALLSTACK} both
stacks and unstacks in one key: it swaps the typed call for the top one, stacks
it when the stack is empty, and takes the top call when the boxes are.
{LOGTHENPOP} and {LOGTHENNEXT} log the contact and bring the next caller in.
{CLRSTACK} empties it.
The rules are N1MM's, and CallStack and the entry actions hold them without a
window, so they are unit-tested: stacking only while running, nothing shorter
than two characters, no dupe, no frequency typed into the callsign box, a call
already on the stack moved rather than repeated, and a multiplier to the front.
{SOCALLSTACK} takes the stacked call off before it puts the typed one on, so a
multiplier just typed cannot come straight back.
Two places differ. N1MM refuses your own call only while the stack is empty;
it is never a station to work, so it is refused either way here. And the order
is multipliers first in every mode: N1MM's digital window offers first-in and
last-in as well, and there is no digital window here.
The stack window opens by itself with the first call and closes with the last,
or Window > Call Stack opens it. It does not take the keyboard when it opens,
because the operator is typing the next call. The next call out is ringed and
each is coloured by what working it would bring, as in every other window.
OperatingPosition.JudgeCall now answers what a call alone is worth, which the
stack window and the check window both need; it was private to the check
window before.
Driven under Xvfb: four calls stacked with Ctrl+Alt+G and listed in the window,
Alt+G bringing the top one into the boxes, Alt+D dropping the next.
