## Overview
|
|
|
|
Pat is a cross platform Winlink client with basic messaging capabilities.
|
|
|
|
It is the primary sandbox/prototype application for the [wl2k-go](https://github.com/la5nta/wl2k-go) project, and provides both a command line interface and a responsive (mobile-friendly) web interface.
|
|
|
|
It is mainly developed for Linux, but is also known to run on OS X, Windows and Android.
|
|
|
|
#### Features
|
|
* Message composer/reader (basic mailbox functionality).
|
|
* Auto-shrink image attachments.
|
|
* Post position reports with location from local GPS, browser location or manual entry.
|
|
* Rig control (using hamlib).
|
|
* CRON-like syntax for execution of scheduled commands (e.g. QSY or connect).
|
|
* Built in http-server with web interface (mobile friendly).
|
|
* Git style command line interface.
|
|
* Listen for P2P connections using multiple modes concurrently.
|
|
* AX.25, telnet, PACTOR and ARDOP support.
|
|
* Experimental gzip message compression (See "Gzip experiment" below).
|
|

### Gzip experiment
|
|
|
|
Gzip message compression has been added as an experimental B2F extension. The extension is implemented as a backwards compatible alternative to the ancient LZHUF compression.
|
|
|
|
This experiment is enabled by default and sessions between two Pat nodes (or other software supporting this B2F extension) will use gzip compression when transferring messages.
|
