It's quite good, but the output looks better when printed and help a distance away, rather that close up (unless you've got a _huge_ screen!). Any comp.sources.misc archive will have it (in volume 30). Have a look in: gatekeeper.dec.com /.2/usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume30 unix.hensa.ac.uk /pub/uunet/usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume30 usc.edu /archive/usenet/sources/comp.sources.misc src.doc.ic.ac.uk /usenet/comp.sources.misc/volume30 -- BCNU Jon ---------------------------------------------------------------------- J.D.Morris Smith, The Medical Imaging Project School of Computer Science, University of Birmingham, Email: j.d...@cs.bham.ac.uk Birmingham, Tel: +44-(0)21 414 3734 B15 2TT, England.
