Yes, I would very much like to develop BWView further. I have ideas
for a better display (using colour to extend the visible range), and I
could probably do some kind of a waterfall, at least as an experiment.
Actually, I have a list of about 15 TODO items.

Just so you understand where my time is going, I'm also involved as a
volunteer in a campaign against corrupt audio CDs and the EUCD in the
UK (the EUCD is the European version of the US DMCA law). I'm also
trying to develop my web-site.

Anyway, I'm ready to give this some more time now.

Do you mean having two channels displayed in the same space,
overlapped ? Or two areas like the present one, with one stacked
above the other ?

Anything anyone else needs in there, let me know. (I know I have to
add the format to handle Dave's files).

It would be good to get Jim-M with a working build environment too, if
he has some tweaks he'd like to make. But I don't want to duplicate
work with Doug if he's looking at that.

I could also add an option to emulate the traditional
FFT-of-windowed-data analysis, by fixing the window-width instead of
varying it with the wavelength. Would this be useful to anyone ?

Jim
