NAME
morsegen - convert file to ASCII morse code
SYNOPSIS
morsegen <file>
DESCRIPTION
This program implements the International Morse Code Standard by converting ASCII text file into morse code ASCII notation.
Morse code was created for the telegraph in the early 1840s. Morse code uses a standardized sequence of short and long elements to
represent the letters, numerals, punctuation and special characters of a given message.
The morse code standard does not define all characters in ASCII table therefore translation of file into morse notation is only an
approximation. The following special translation have been used:
