Agreed, but please look at the


 arithenco
 arithdeco
 dpcmdeco
 dpcmenco
 dpcmopt

in matalb and see if there are ways of making any code compatible with
them. I developed my code against R13, and so the R2006b comms toolbox
might have slightly different functions and interface so check the
mathworks web site as well..
