Hello Michael and PSN;

LOL, do you really understand all that MATH gobblygoop.

I am not a Mathmatician and not even pretend to
be a programmer or Engineer.

I need the exact PowerBasic\Dos Source code
to compile a program useful with raw binary data.

Everyone seems to avoid BASIC and want to
use C because thats what they teach at the
University.

C is like a foreign language to me and if it is
not BASIC or Assembly I can not understand it.

Point me to a FREE FFT Basic Source Code
that does a complete conversion and
my ears will perk up.

The USN has spoiled me by being able to talk to laymen.

Cheers :-)
