What a nice thing to do!

The Allison speaker placement program works very well and easily on 123
and gives truly useful and audible results. The only glitch I noticed
(although I am using a more recent version than what may be available
here) is that the intro talks about figuring the distances to the
3 nearest boundaries (front wall, side wall, floor) in feet whereas
you actualy enter the data in inches.

FYI, I believe the Snell version (like the Sitting Duck version) only
believes rooms resonate along L, W and H; it ignores LW, LH, and HW and
LWH. I may be mistaken in this but if it is the case then the program
is useless. I know the Sitting Duck program only does the 3 dimensional
modes for its computation and it is therefore useless.

Users more savvy than about spreadsheets have said the Allison program
works readily on Excel and Quattro but I cannot speak from experience...
