DESCRIPTION
       This program simulates an Easycom rotor interface. It read

       EL45.0 and outputs it to an parallel port. When started it
       displays  a  small status text, creates the file /tmp/fod-
       trackdevice - which contains the pseudo device used -  and
       goes into the background.
