>From an end user's perspective, and keeping in mind the unfortunate decision
of K6STI to discontinue the production of his application, Chen, why has no
other PC based application compared?  Has anyone contacted Brian and asked
him if he'd consider releasing the information that he used to create his
application so that someone else could pick up his torch? 

Like Chen says, we keep hearing about how far superior RITTY is/was.  With
the increase in computer usage, power, and knowledge, has no one attempted
to compete with Brian?  Dave, would that help you in improving MMTTY?  Chen,
any chance of your research being used to develop a PC based application?

RITTY's old, uses antiquated hardware, yet still out performs all modern
apps.  We have 10's of times more processing power, higher dynamic range
(higher then the rigs themselves) soundcards, and 10+ years of MORE
experience then Brian did at that time with DSP.  What a waste of useful
information, sitting dormant in a DOS based application.
