      I have used it a little, for DSP as well as GPIB interface
and general processing.

     I feel sorry for you. I decided to drop it after I "discovered" its
limitations. You know, the ones they dont tell you about before you buy.

     Their idea of "support" is quite interesting. A list of the Microsoft
Basic functions they DONT support takes over a full page just to list. The
approach to any sort of DSP calculation is interesting too. The ONLY numeric
format they support is double precision floating point. Can you say "slow as
molasses"? Oh, you can do a single precision FFT if you like. Just be ready to
write it low-level yourself!!

       Be forewarned. Their idea of support is quite loose. Be prepared to
essentially learn a whole new language, regardless of the initial model.
