Sorry for the wide distribution, but I'm not sure which newsgroup is appropriate for this query; I am trying to find source code or descriptions of software (or hardware) algorithms for Reed Solomon encoding/decoding. Specifically, I am interested in something which emulates the Cross Interleaved Reed-Solomon coding found on CDs, and the double encoding found on CD-ROMS. Any references (journals, conferences, books) would also be helpful. Thanks, Henry Minsky

Try Neal Glover's book "Practical Error Correction Design for Engineers." It was published privately and I don't see an ISBN number but Neal I think can still be reached at (303)466-5228/5482. His company was bought out by Cirrus a while ago but I think the number is still good. Excellent book. -- _____________________________________________________________________ | Dave Warner | e-mail address: warner@intellistor.com | | Intellistor, Inc. | USmail address: 2402 Clover Basin Dr. | | (303)682-6555 | Longmont, CO 80503 | ---------------------------------------------------------------------

Fujiwara, Prentice-Hall, 1989, ISBN 0-13-283953-9. This has a good description of RS coding, but not the discussion is not specific to CDs so you may have to figure it out. peter dahl@src.honeywell.com I had fun once, and it wasn't anything like this
