First, I want to state that I appreciate the effort that went into this software. This has served me well as an excellent terminal based software to manage BBS connections and unproto messages. This PR adds a feature that I feel rounds out the complete set of features that enable this software to be the single go-to for all AX.25-based HAM applications.
Primarily this PR adds a new window that supports APRS messaging. This allows station-to-station message generation and reception with message IDs and automatic acknowledgements, as well as suppressing the display of duplicate received messages and acknowledgements.
Additionally, this PR adds the ability to retransmit unproto and APRS messages using the shift-up arrow key combination. In APRS mode, this takes the place of automatic retransmission, as it allows the user to send a duplicate message, with a new ID if they do not see the expected acknowledgement. Perhaps in the future auto-retransmit can be added, but I, personally, don't see the value.
This PR also adds an adjustment to how the menubar space is allocated to address the issue where long via strings were truncated. Long via strings are typically used in messages on the 145.050 packet network.
The addition of these features has allowed paracon to become a one-stop tool for all packet messaging for me personally, and I hope to share these features with other parcon users in this PR. I am open to discussing and adjusting specific items in this PR if they do not conform to the original parcon vision.
