 When using chart I have found that I can not place a title on the chart
 neither can I label the axis themselves. The help on chart says  that in the 
 Palette there is an option called "titles". The question is: What and where is 
 Palette, it isn't the menu, is it?

Well, you are indeed correct that the pallette is gone.  Where did it
go?  I don't know but I'll look into it and let you know.

Yes, chart has commented out the code for the pallette at this time.  Apparently the pallette/chart was not up to par at the time of the R4 release.  I will investigate whether it can be made to reach par in the near future.  Sorry for the
oversight.

What is the current version of chart?
I am running (Version 1.0, ATK 14.2) and 
the output it produces is not crash hot.
For example, pie charts don't have the circle,
the histogram rectangles aren't black (as on the screen)
and there are more features I would like to see ... I know it's free.

Can anyone enlighten me on the latest and where to get it?
Thanks.

Well, the ATK version number I have is 15.2 here at the ITC.  I think
the most current ATK available "outside" is 15.1.  I experience none of
the graphical problems you report.  The current patchlevel is 7.  Are
you patched up to that level?  Unfortunately, programs such as chart are
not being improved with much vigor.  If you'd like to send us some
patches we'd be happy to look them over :^)
