The only problem I had with it was trying to run it under X64. I works
under XP and win2k.

Sometimes if the program is written under later versions of VB (which I
don't know for a fact regarding this program), the DLLs are not
present. [This happens with X64.] The older versions of VB created
larger files, but were less dependent on the OS being stuffed with the
right DLLs.

If the complaint is missing files, google the name of those files. If
you find them, place them in the same directory as the install program.
This will get the program working at least once. At that point, you
need to do the research to see where exactly the DLLs normally reside.
Any chance you are using windows ME (the minus edition)?

If you could write up how to install Octave with cygwin, I'd appreciate
it. I was trying to run GRASS, another linux program, with cygwin, and
had no luck. Grass can compute line of sight regions using USGS
seamless files. It's not really useful for HF, but it is useful for VHF
on up.

You could probably get it on your fillings in northern Ca. I've got it
as just shy of S+30 on my ALA100 (3 turns, about 40ft total), in the
daytime. I first detected this signal in central Nevada when looking
for beacons in September this year.

The recording is PCM to make it easy to decode.

BTW, I found the webiste for Octave, but can't get the windows version
working. I've had hit and miss results with Cygwin. I'm going to set
up another linux machine and quit messing with windows ports. [I had a
quad-boot PC with one OS as SUSE linux, but had to steal back the disk
space. This time I'll just build a second PC.]

I forgot it is tied to Cygwin. But I'm always running Cygwin.
I've never had great problems installing it.
But hey, Linux aint a bad way to go either.

Your mentioning SkySweeper got me interested.
I down loaded the demo version and tried to install it.
The install fails because it complains it can't find all the
components. I've downloaded it, extracted it, and tried
to run setup. All of that twice.
Have you had any problems like that?
