If you plan to use my GPIB software with it, be sure to download a
recent copy. I hosed the phase-noise app pretty badly in my last
"slipstream" update a few weeks ago, and only heard about it last
week. The version that's up there now is fine.

http://www.qsl.net/ke5fx/ Thanks for the heads-up. That's v1.05,
the Jan 14, 2006 edition? Which program was updated to fix the
phase-noise problem? The pn program's source code says 13-Jul-05,
although the pn.cpp file date is 12-Feb-06.

I like the part where you get the "number of 1000-ns intervals
since 1-Jan-1601 UTC"

Heh... I've wondered where Microsoft came up with that; it might have
come from the Unix world. There's a lot of weirdness in the calendar
business, and it's usually less arbitrary, but more obscure, than it
seems at first.

Do you take into account the days lost in the change from the Julian
to the Gregorian calendars?
