dspf README review - can you take a look?

[Scott Mitchell-5]

I am going through the libraries now, all main.c files apparently  
pass the copywrite test - I found this one especially confusing -  
Markus, can you review?

Thanks.

Scott

Helena,

may I pass this question to you? You will be most familiar
with the history of the DSPF lib.

thanks,
Markus

Just FYI, I just approved two messages from Scott
which he sent from his other account (now accepted
as poster) - to keep the archive complete.
