WALSH
Walsh and Haar Transforms

WALSH is a C++ library which implements versions of the Walsh and Haar transforms.

Note that the programs, as printed in the reference, had a few typographical errors. Several programs, in particular FHT and FRT, could not be made to perform as described in the text, and hence have been omitted.
