I don't understand Your DATA i file *work_unit.sah*

You are not particularly supposed to, although they havn't taken any
steps to obfuscate it. They don't want people doing their own
analysis and either making a mistake in the analysis process and making
false claims of a detection, or even making a real detection and
getting to the press before them (the former being much more likely).

I understand :-)

That's crazy!

2 brains can think MORE smart than just óne, and what about 6.000 millions ?

However, the parameter part is fairly obvious and the uuencode type level
of the encoding can easily be stripped. ...

:-)

... It is clear from the parameters
that the data is a sequence of complex numbers containing ...

What do You exactly mean by this ? - Which kind of parameters ?

Are You talk'ing about the fictiv Ra and Dec ?
(example: 40 hr ... 28 deg )

... only the sign
bit for each of the real and imaginary parts; ...

Does this means, that the amplitude (the level) still is there ?

... that part can easily be
resolved by a few experiments to determine the sequence of the data and
how it is interleaved.

Can You explain this for me ?

I have a lille DATA-string here, downloaded from SETI, see ...

Do You means by this, that SETI have encrypt the DATA ?

... but people have solved that one as well
by trying test data.

I splitt up You message here.

Thank You very much for Your help.
