Everybody hates it because some variations will be very component sensitive, but it kills noise like nobodies business. I've had little trouble with the several I've built.

I ran your program (for fun) and then checked it in LTSPice.  Nice.

Does the program iterate to a solution, or is it solving a set of design equations?

Conrad Hoffman:
The program is a port of a Fortran program found in an old Burr-Brown book. When you get to 4th order the math becomes annoying. Can't remember, but I think it's more of a brute force numerical solution to a set of design equations. On a fast machine you can iterate a mighty long ways and nobody will notice! Of course, once you calculate the prototype for a given type, you don't need the program at all. Just apply the usual scaling.

That's what I figured.  Thanks.
