yeah, sorry.  never compiled anything under windows.  if you do get it to
compile, can you send me patches and a makefile?

im not sure, but i think it treats the float[] kindof like a new() call.

but, as you can see, I learned to program from a Sams "teach yourself C++
in 21days".   it took a bit longer than 21 days and i skipped  alot of
chapters.

ok, looking at fftease now to see how you use it.  should make it a bit
faster too.

I would hate to do that, cause that would make it *nix specific and sort
of defeat the purpose of having the flext lib in between.  

thanks for the support - august.
