Hi everyone. I have uploaded a DOS executable file that calculates the
fret positions for equal tempered guitar, bass, or what have you. This
is barebones stuff. It opens a DOS window that prompts you for the
guitar fret scale (double the distance from the nut to the current
12th fret, in decimal inches, say, 24.75) and the number of equal
tempered frets per octave. Then it writes the output to a file called
GTRSCALE.TXT on the C drive, and closes the DOS window. GTRSCALE
contains the cumulative measurements in inches from nut to next fret
for 1 octave. To find the next octave measurements, divide the entries
in the list by 2.

I told you it was bare bones!
