I like the fact that open-office runs both in linux and windows. The real
problem with it is in the drawing of charts in a spread sheet. They need
to burn the existing code and start again. It takes forever to make a
plot and is real trouble to work with once it has made one.

Their spread sheet also seems to be limited to 32K rows or something like
that.

I have never needed to chart anything, ever.


I often want to graph about a 1^6 points so a chart that could do it would
be very helpful. I have my own software for the job.

What I have needed in the past is s/w that can do a really nice 2D plot, with
self scaling axes. Ideally, freeware source so I can drop it into other apps.

I can get to the site and read the text, but I can't see any links to
pictures. This could be important, because I have a problem accessing a
download facility on a site that is very significant business-wise. What
should I be seeing on the site? I see no links, not even if I scan over
the black text looking for cursor changes.

Your past misconduct tells me that no matter what is said you have a

You really do need to do something about your grammar. Its still
atrocious.

Yea, talking to you is really ruining my grammar. Contagious failing or meme.

Secondly, why do you persist with these lies. Show me where I claimed

I've just killed him myself, actually. The latest and most deserving

this pointless thread. What a colossal waste of time and effort,
trying to educate these wasters. I urge anyone else, similarly

I must agree. There is no chance that the primary instigator will ever get it.

Thank you. It's downloading very slowly. But what I don't understand is
why I can't see the link on the web site. I don't think I've got
anything blocked that would cause that. Where on the page is the link
and what does it look like? The information could help with the other
problem I mentioned, which is much more important. There are about 1000
standard drafts that I can't download at present, and I need to review
at least 20% of them.

It's called 'predestination'. Not all Christians believe in it (mostly

You mean a contour plot? So do I! A LOT! I've been struggling with
Mathcad, which does contours, but it's clunky and inflexible. I asked if
v.12 is any better, but it isn't.

DPLOT would possibly do it, but my plots are 100 x 100 matrices, which
it doesn't like at all.
