I thought so too. It was a new idea to me, but probably
someone else has published it somewhere first.

Yes, I was deperate. I'd spent nearly a week attempting
the 'Brain' approach, and had NOTHING useful to show for it.
I think it could be a GOOD technique for implementing arbitrary
state machines as well as a DESPERATE technique for translating GOTOs.

Plot & eyeball the filter frequency response. Easy.
Imagine a complicated (in terms of mathematical theory
AND software implementation) program for factoring large
integers. Virtually impossible to tell if the program is
correct, easy to check any particular result for correctness.

I had a quick look. It is a translation of the same published,
tangled, GOTOd, FORTRAN source I used (but certainly did not understand).
Does that make it more reliable than the original? I don't know.
But I agree, a very quick look at the C indicates that the author has
somehow managed to disentangle it and produce what looks like clear code.
How did he do it?

Interesting thought!
