Tone generator: there is a sine wave generator for XMMS *tone generator* (< http://dwdraw.homeunix.org/music/info/music-temperaments.html >--the Just Intonation Sheet in the right-hand sidebar includes a list of frequencies corresponding to notes (from A440 and up) that the XMMS plugin will need; use the ET Freq. column) You could also use *csound*, but it's not worth it for such a simple purpose (unless you already compose with it). In the U.S., you can buy tuners for $20 (which was not the case four years ago). Here is one store's listing (Korg CA30 and Seiko ST757 are two such models): http://www.hickeys.com/cgi/display.cgi?cart_id=&page=tuner.htm (There are many other music stores online that have these inexpensive tuners; your local music store might also have one.) If physical tuners weren't so inexpensive, I wouldn't mention them.
