If you have a C++ compiler you can download the source. If you run Windows 95/NT you can get a copy from me for other systems you should ask Wayne Cripps. See ftp://ftp.cs.dartmouth.edu/pub/lute Since guitar tab is more or less identical to 16th century Spanish/Milan vihuela tablature you should have a look at the program.
