        I'm currently involved in FIR digital filter design.
        I've been using the CARL digital filter design software
        by Mcclellan and Parks designed some 10 years ago. 

        I am trying to design fairly large (16->32 tap) FIR
        filters for image sharpness correction/enhancement. Ideally,
        I would like to be able to specify filter gains at various
        frequencies and have the program optimally design the coeffs.
        The band-edge, band-gain, band-ripple approach of CARL
        seems to be very awkward and unpredictable for this 
        type of filter design. 

        I'm also designing very large (256->1024) tap interpolation
        filters. CARL is limited to 128 coeffs.

        If anybody knows of any more recent offerings or newer
        algorithms for filter design/analysis software, please 
        post or e-mail some recommendations.

        I've seen some references to Gabriel from UC Berkley.
        Is this any good? How do I obtain it? Does it run on a Sun?
        Can I ftp something??

        I realize this has probably been asked in the past, but
        I haven't captured the info.

        I would prefer that to run on Sun workstation (Sun3 or Sparc).

                Thanks much,
