+I finally got around to translating some IBW readers from C to Python.
+And so, I present (drumroll :)
+[igorbinarywave.py](http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~wking/code/hg/hgwebdir.cgi/hooke/file/tip/hooke/driver/igorbinarywave.py).
+Python because it's easy to drop it into my other Python projects (in
+this case, [Hooke](http://code.google.com/p/hooke/)).  It's also easy
+to get a hold of all that useful metadata in a hurry.  No writing
+ability yet, but I don't know why you'd want to move data that
+direction anyway ;).
+
+Thanks to the folks at [WaveMetrics](http://www.wavemetrics.com/) for
+publishing some good
+[documentation](ftp://ftp.wavemetrics.net/IgorPro/Technical_Notes/TN003.zip),
+even if it's in a goofy format.
