I don't insist on anything, and I'm not a regular sox user.
I had a need for some reference signals, and had a computer
sitting nearby, but no other signal generating equipment.
A thought occurred to me that I could probably get something
out of the computer with a little work. I fiddled around until
I got the thing to work. That's all.

If you know better ways, I'm willing to hear them.
