Actually Dave broke it to the group on the 4th :-)
I just went an joined the group and went hunting for code to interface to
it.

I EDF does seem like the best for storing our files!
I like the fact that it can annotated with in the format. :-)

As I said sounds great.....Funny thing is it's been out for YEARS (1992) BUT
there doesn't seem to be a lot of code around for it. Except for metlab!

Only trouble is it's not EDF compatible and there is a warning NOT to use it
for EEG.......
