Mike is right, that is the one thing I forgot to mention : 'dash' should be
the higher frequency, 'dot' the lower frequency.

Regarding 'CT' : our CQ wil do the job too, during a QSO it might be
usefull to start transmission with 'CT' but so far I had no problem in
'decoding' DFCW signals without this. Anyway, for those who like 'CT'
(-.-.-) I will add it to the 'extra characters' in the QRS software.
