LM13600 audio osc

Wow Paul, I had a similar problem with it range wise.  I assume you
built the osc in the appnotes for the LM13600.  I used a different
method to get full range.  Actually, I just copied PAiA's FatMan V/I
converter design and bingo.  Unfortunately, I can't speak to the
asymmetry issue, since the cap I used was to set the oscillator range
rather high and I use only the square output because it is intended as
a clock for a noise generator (shift reg) and a complex waveform
generator.  These drawings are on hyperreal.  The oscillator tracks my
FatMan very well.
