I have been assigned the task of briefly resuscitating a recently deceased professor so that we can learn the whereabouts of his marking book. Can someone point me to Java or C++ code on the web? TIA Diggory Down

I tried to parody some of the off-the-wall code requests we see.

We got a brand spanking new post-doc, ink still wet on diploma. He was going be working with our brand new high resolution mass spec. He was to select a new electrometer amplifier to increase its sensitivity. He brought the info on his selection to the shop. At maximum gain it had a bandwidth of 10 Hz. I could not convince him that it was overkill. While operating well within the linear region of the built in electron multiplier, the system would be able to measure 1/10 of an electron/second at 10 Hz. Gain bandwidth product was to difficult a concept I guess.
