Clusters and server farms often have many nodes and very little hardware support for locating and diagnosing problems, especially if the problem involves the network interface. Helpme is a small stand-alone program that allows a node to use the standard PC speaker, both to signal that a problem has been detected and to render arbitrary alphanumeric text using either Morse code or the NATO phonetic alphabet. The input syntax allows repeating messages and more.

Recent releases


Release Notes: Various changes were made to enhance the Morse rendering, a few command line options were added, and this release avoids using the machine-dependent performance counter register. The code was also rewritten to further reduce size; it is now provided as statically linked versions (about 37K) in addition to the full source code.
