frequency analysis tools...

In some books that I have, I can find charts like this, that show
frequencies of partials and graph them as amplitudes of partials:

1 ----------------------------
2 ------------
3 -----------------
4.27 ------
5 ---
6 -
16.8 -

(Turn that on its side...)

I'm wondering if anyone out there has a tool, or knows a tool, preferrably
free or shareware, that can do that for a piece of a WAV file. What I'm
looking for is something that will really give me numbers of the partials
and their relative amplitudes.

CoolEdit has a real-time facility for showing FFT, but it doesn't give
this kind of exact breakdown, and it's impossible to get partial numbers
out of it... I'm looking for something that gives a nice discrete graph
like above, not with actual frequencies, but as a list of partials. (Oh,
this is for Windows, not Mac or Unix.)

Thanks,
Rick

Yes! Exactly what I was looking for... and more besides. Thanks!
