signal generation for dsk board

hi
i have purchased a dsk6713 board and book by rulph chaissang as i want to
learn about real time dsp

Many of the problems require a analogue sinewave input (obviously) that
can be sampled processed and sent to dac for output.
but i do not have a signal generator.  Can anyone tell me of an
alternative way to generate a analogue sine wave input or where cheap
generators can be purchased in europe?

cheers

A sound card and an appropriate .wav file? maybe someone can make the 
files for you. Volunteers?

Jerry is right. Rulph used the shareware application GoldWave - it can
act as a signal generator and as a virtual oscilloscope/spectrum
analyser (assuming that you have a soundcard.)
Rulph alludes to this on page 3 of the book and gives more details in
Appendix E - Additional Support Tools.
GoldWave is downloadable from www.goldwave.com
