I am even older dinosaurus. I was running still DOS 5.0 and Win 3.11 on 80486/60MHz/12MB and the only one thing that recently made me convert to Win 95 was the Spectrogram for Windows 95 you mentioned. The version running in Win 3.11 is not convenient for our purposes I think. Version for Win 95 is modified this way and is worth of changing O/S I believe. It runs reliably even with cheapest sound card I got (ESS1869/ISA). I chose Windows 95, which is NOT "OSR2". This results in two things. Files occupy much less space on HD and it doesn't have 32 bit FAT table so that disks are visible when machine is started from diskette with DOS 5.0. As a network administrator and programmer I always respect KISS method. It means Keep It Simple and Stupid. Otherwise one would get mad from things...

Re Waterfall programmes

This dinasaur is still running with Windows 3.1 and DOS 6.2

So while this thread is running on the reflector I wondered if there was any
advise beyond buying a new operating system.

I am running a PC with 233Mhz clock, cyrix 300 MMX chip set, 32M Ram and a
creative labs soundblaster 16.


First I downloaded FFTDSP42, which I believed should run on my system, but
it kept coming up with " Divider overload " error messages and bringing my
machine to a halt.

I then downloaded spectrogram to discover the current version is for Windows
95


I have found a very early version of spectrogram which I am running , it has
been useful to look at spectrums from strong signals like DCF39 , but I have
not found a way of setting it to receive any QRSS signals other than G3LDO
and G3YXM both of which are well above the noise floor.

Can you advise me of a  source for a suitable program that will run on my
DOS or Windows 3.1 set up.   

Am I wasting my time,  do I have to go out and get a bigger hard drive and
upgrade to Windows 95 or 98 or do you no better.

thanks in anticipation
