💖 COMPTTY(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the comptty page — she lives in section 1 of the User manual and she's literally the glow-up your RTTY testing needed. buckle up, it's giving comparison queen energy 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

comptty — a GUI-based tool to compare two RTTY text streams 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So, Comptty is what you reach for when you've got two RTTY streams and you're like "okay but which one ate and which one flopped?" 💅 It's used to compare two RTTY streams, periodt.

Her comparison function is not playing around — it uses a linear-programming technique. no cap. and what does she hand you back? a whole lil report card:

• the total number of errors 👑
• the character error rate (CER) ✨
• the bit error rate (BER) ✨

and the detail that's lowkey iconic: special attention is given to SHIFT and UNSHIFT — so if an error happens in that character, it gets accounted for properly. she's thorough like that 🫶

🎀 GUI OPTIONS 🎀

three buttons, three moods, all main character energy:

• Expected — hit this button to select the file that contains the RTTY stream you want to compare 💖
• Received — hit this button to select the second RTTY stream file to compare 🦋
• Compare — click this one to actually perform the comparison between the two RTTY streams. she then displays the total number of errors, the CER and the BER 🌈

no hidden flags, no secret args, bestie — this one's a click-click-click vibe check on your RTTY streams 💅
