With all due respect, I tried these figures (admittedly being inexperienced 
using the FAC program).  They did not at all produce what I do by ear.  The 
results must produce 4 pure 5ths and a number of intervals that beat exactly 
the same as each other.  These figures did not in any way produce these 
results.  Also, and just as important, using the FAC program will not produce 
the unique Tempered Octaves that I use.

To date, there is no electronic calculation that I know of which will produce 
the EBVT with Tempered Octaves.  I use the Direct Interval approach with the 
SAT.  It is an alternative and entirely different way of using the SAT which 
gives me consistently the same results as I desire aurally.

If there are enough people who want my unique system to be taught at the 
Convention in Chicago, you'll all have to express your desires to the 
Institute Committee.  And fair warning to the IC:  I won't do it in a 45 
minute Mini Tech and I also want to find an opportunity for the EBVT to be 
heard in a *MUSIC* recital, (not an interval banging session).

As far as Tuneoffs go, I would offer my system against Ed Foote's any day of 
the year.  He doesn't do what I do and I certainly don't do what he does.  
Mine produces easily discernible and superior results.
