[sci.math] routines for doing digital filters

Hi:
I have run into the following problem and was wondering if anyone 
had a good solution -- I need a fair notch filter at a very low frequency 
(0.4Hz at 12.5ms sampling rate), to be used in the input part of a digital 
controller (which doesnt limit the filter to being causal).
The standard Parks-McClellan algorithm that I use blows up when
the number of coefficients exceeds 1000.

So, does anyone have code (preferably C or Fortran) that does filter design
which doesn't have this limitation?
