It is ever thus. In my first email I defined an issue, one can either
develop the tools
or one can use the tools, in general I have found that precious few can do
both. The need
for tools to wade through the collection of large, really huge amounts of
data and find the
gems of possible value is as I see it a general problem. We need a general
solution. Phil
Karn, KA9Q, has in his usual manner made his contribution by a highly
optimized FFT but
the FFT in and of itself does not solve the problem for anyone. I have
indeed found only one
reference to it, that in the Linux SetiSearch program.
I will approach both the SETIFox and SETISearch developers for information.
Regretfully the Linrad software is excellent manual analysis software but
it does not support
any form of automated processing. The ability to automagically process the
raw data efficiently
is the root of the need for almost everyone in long duration experimental
work.
So I still need help, and those who are reading this email I ask for you to
consider the issues and
see if you can help me find information on processing FFT data for signal
detection, I still don't even
know what I don't know. I am sure in this community there are those who
can help in this area.

PS Paul, I wonder if a little dusting and cleaning in the web site
information might
be in order......
