                            Q0: WHAT IS COMP.DSP?

         Comp.dsp is a worldwide Usenet news group that is used to
          discuss various aspects of digital signal processing. It is
          unmoderated, though we try to keep the signal to noise ratio
          up :-). If you need to ask a question that isn't in the FAQ,
          and can't figure out how to post, consult
          news.newusers.questions.
