I heard that there was a utility called xscope, when I > brought it over it had something to do with signal processing. There are two things called xscope. One is the oscilloscopeish thing you have, the other is the thing you want. (A somewhat confusing state of affairs, I grant you.) I am not sure where the "official" place to get the xscope you want is. I obviously located one at some point, because I have it working here. I do not recall where I got it, alas. I had to touch it up slightly to persuade it to run in the background; if anyone wants to ftp my modified version, it's on 132.206.1.1 in the files found in X/xscope.src/. According to what internal evidence I can find (there's no contact address or signature in the README), the author is one James L. Peterson of MCC. Make of that what you will. der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
