Which fork ?

Which patches ?

Perhaps it doesn't re-use that much (and in any case, it is so little by
itself). However there are bits of code by Heikki Hannikainen OH7LZB
<oh7lzb@sral.fi> and Tomi Manninen OH2BNS <oh2bns@sral.fi> (color
printing support) and bits of code for Kiss decoding written by Phil
Karn KA9Q which are surely shared between the two programs.
It is mostly inspired by the "listen" program.
