As I am on BITNET I don't know how to reach the author directly.
I downloaded your Spreadsheet and Charting program from the
Panarthea archive and instlled it under GDOS. The only GDOS program
that worked was the AMCGDOS posted by Reschke in Atari-Info number
265 or 275 (I have to look up the correct number). Using other GDOS versions
OPUS could not find the Printer workstation. (I don't know why).
Your Program is great.
I just have two small comments:
1) using your program on an 300 DPI printer, the lines are to faint.
I would like to be able to change the thickness of the lines.
(specially the axes I would like to have a bit thicker)
2) reading in data from a "normal" Textfile
I would like to import data from a machine, which can put
numeric data into a computer file, so I don't want to
type them in again.
Than you for your contribution.
By the way: Still needed by many atari users:

I am also very interested to import data from an ascii file used columnwise. Retyping data is just too error-prone and should be done by the computer. Thanks for your beautiful job ! Paul Bartholdi. PS being by now a registered user, i would suggest that importing data files could be reserved to those that have payed theire shares ...
