This is probably not that complicated (I hope?!?) but I need a PC
program that would just tell a PC soundcard to generate a standard
CTCSS tone (example 107.2 Hz) sinewave that could be fed into an older
FM amateur transceiver. I don't want to find/buy/build a CTCSS module

What you describe is a lot like using a 40mm antiaircraft gun to
shoot down a rubber-band powered model airplane. What happens when you
suddenly need to use your sound card for something other than a PL
encoder?
$28.95 plus a little for shipping will get you a perfectly usable
dedicated CTCSS encoder, as described at this link:

PC's are not, contrary to popular belief, the Answer to All Things
Radio or Technical. This is one area where a dedicated purpose-built
device would be a much better investment of your time and money.
Happy tweaking.
