A recent Dr Dobb's Journal (it may even be the Oct 89 issue) has a very fine
article on the subject with source code. I'm sure you will find it very useful,
I have.  The software works great too. 

Hope this helps.

P.S. As I recall, the source was posted several months ago to C.B.I.P so should be archived somewhere.
