Feed the square output to a coil+capacitor in parallel and you'll get

original square wave's frequency.

This works pretty good at the third and fifth harmonics, but there is
no second or fourth harmonic in a perfect square wave.

Good point, John. But fortunately, I've never generated a *perfect*
square wave! :-) In practice, it's probably more accurate to say that
the even harmonics are well down on the odds. Blame it on dv/dt.

Hmmm...I'd "blame" M. Fourier for any of that, not the "dv/dt."

Sorry. The reference to the dv/dt was supposed to appear directly
after the quip about the "perfect square wave" - rather than blaming
Fourier, perhaps my text editing should be held culpable. :-)
Anyway, Len, by all means send me a copy of your program. All these
little utilities will doubtless prove their value at some future time.
Thanks.
