Chladni, as I recall, is the guy who used vibrating waveplates which used
'sand' (I think?) so he could see the interference patterns caused by
waves.

You wouldn't need much knowledge beyond that. (COBOL is evil, BTW). :)

Well, if all you want to do is just provide some arbitrary frequencies and
see what their interference pattern looks like, you shouldn't have any
problems. I don't have any idea what the format is for the data coming
from radio telescopes is either, so I cant help you there.
