A C-program for encoding POCSAG-packages

Base

Radio paging is defined as "non-speech, one-way, personal selective calling system with alert, without message or with defined message such as numeric or alphanumeric" in CCIR's recommendation defined below.

POCSAG is a protocol for transmitting data to pagers. It is also called Radio Paging Protocol No. 1. The protocol is used for example in the swedish pagernet MiniCall.


The program

I have made a C-program that calculates what to send in batches. To understand what batches are are you almost have to read the spec.
Here is the sourcecode zipped (11443 bytes).
