Rice Wavelet Tools version 2.4
Released - <Dec 1 2002>

The Rice Wavelet Toolbox (RWT) is a collection of Matlab M-files and C 
MEX-files for 1D and 2D wavelet and filter bank design, analysis, and 
processing. The toolbox provides tools for denoising and interfaces directly 
with our Matlab code for wavelet domain hidden Markov models and wavelet 
regularized deconvolution (see dsp.rice.edu/software).  

Important Note: Earlier version of the Rice Wavelet Toolbox (upto version 2.3) 
do NOT compile under Matlab versions 6.0 (Release 12) and above. The current 
version (version 2.4) fixes this compatibilty issue.

Version 1.1 (August 30, 1993) was the first officially released RWT.  Version 
2.01 (April 18, 1994) had several significant enhancements.  The current 
distribution, Version 2.4 (Dec 1, 2002) below, has been streamlined and packaged 
for different systems, including Solaris, Linux, and Microsoft Windows.  Functions 
omitted in Version 2.4 can be found in the Version 2.01 distribution.

Older versions are available in the 'dist' directory.

The Rice Wavelet Toolbox is open source software.  See the LICENSE file. It is 
distributed as-is, free of charge, and without warranty.  This README file also 
contains a list of toolbox functions available in version 2.4.

Notes on Source Code:
