That's brilliant...

Not being a great C programmer, I wanted to be able to build the Recorder
Simulator, but I could never get my head around the project.. I have used
your DSP file, and Visual Studio.NET converted it without a problem...

The only problem being that I can't yet build it due to the lack of PERL on
my recently rebuilt system, What version do you recommend, and from where?

TIA

Mark
