RE: speaker enclosure design (Peter S. Shenkin @ columbia univ)

I've been hacking on a Thiele/Small enclosure design program originally
written by Don Keele at JBL.  It's written in Microsoft BASIC. My
changes are to improve the user interface and to allow a datafile to store
the various driver parameters.

I'm currently working on a change to allow the datafile to be created by
dbase II (which is much better at that sort of thing than MBASIC is). This
version is a ways off (I've got the file read down, but haven't had time to
integrate it into the program).

I used an earlier version (written for HP41C) to design the LF enclosures
for my stereo. Measured results compared very favorably to the calculated
results. As I recall, I ended up with the calculated lengths of the vent
tubes.

If there is enough demand, I will post it to this newsgroup.
