I have a rather complete map of the FT-897D memory (which I understand 
is pretty much identical to the FT-857), and the FT-817ND as well.  The 
only problem is, it is in code written in Java, so I don't have clear 
bit-fields like I do in my C++ code for D-Star radios.  The Java code 
uses a table format describing the fields and the bit positions therein, 
using Java "enum"s, so the code isn't very clear to someone who is not 
familiar with that Java feature.

If someone wants that (GPL v2) code, I have no problem providing it, 
with the understanding that I don't presently have the time to explain 
the code (flying weather is picking up).  It doesn't look too difficult 
to figure out.

ps: I used GPL v2 (without the "any later version" clause) in my code, 
because I don't particularly care for the idea that Richard Stallman 
could decide on a new GPL license, and have *users* arbitrarily adopt 
that, with unknown consequences to me.  I don't particularly mind v3 (I 
prefer v2;  I think it's a better license for my purposes), but I'm not 
comfortable with leaving the door open to any future revisions that he 
or anyone else at the FSF would create.  I don't believe that reverse 
engineering my code is a violation of the GPL v2 (at any rate I'll allow 
it in this circumstance), but I'd like to restrict its distribution to 
GPL v2 only.
