5.4. Infrared Signal Processor (Windows)

You've got your LIRC IR receiver ready to go and you want to use it to control your software—but you don't run Linux. You might reasonably assume that the Linux Infrared Remote Control package runs only on Linux; however, you'd be wrong. There's a port of LIRC for Windows named WinLIRC.

A completely unrelated IR receiver project already scooped the name WIRC; that program runs only on Windows 9x and Me and was specifically designed for the Packard Bell FastMedia receiver. It's not compatible with the receiver we've built in this project.
