It is awesome. There are about 30,000 flow lines on it. Would it be possible to distribute the graph data in some printer/plotter independent form? I'd have to look hard to find one of these postscript printers around here, but on the other hand I do have a 42" x whatever Versatec electorstatic color plotter with a controller that understands HPGL... You could probably arrange with rick@uunet to post the data there, where many non-internet site could get at it. In the long run the willingness of sites to provide data for this sort of thing has something to do with seeing their names on the output an being able to play with it themselves. -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@uunet.uu.net Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (only by moonlite)
