Hello,
2 quick items regarding this program...
First, it looks like a made a mistake when I distributed the second, final a78sign last
year!
I updated the executable but forgot to update the source in the zipfile!
I fixed this mistake and now the .exe and .cpp files are in sync again:
http://www.dsplib.com/a7800/a78sign.zip
Dan Boris - I would strongly suggest you update your website with this file ;)
Second, I'm looking at making a vanilla C version that doesn't require any third-party
libraries...this should make it much easier to port.
Thanks,
Frank
