Firstly, pardon me for posting rather than replying but out system
doesn't seem to like to reply via USENET paths.

I don't have a direct reply to your question but can point you to
another potential source in case you haven't thought of it.  Peak
detection, integration, etc. such as you describe is also common in
nuclear spectroscopy so you may want to also post your query to 
net.physics.
