John: Thanks for your ideas. I have been working on a plotting program, but so far concentrateing on the user interface (still struggeling with Intuition). I had decided I wanted higher resolution output and am thinking of PostScript or HP PCL, perhapes both. If you have other ideas for output let me know, I might find some way to test them, but for now all I have is a laser printer with PS and PCL. A stastical software package is a possiblity for a second project, I'll be thinking on it. I don't know enough compiler theory or machine language to start on a FORTRAN compiler, perhapes some day just don't hold your breath. I don't know what MathCad is, is it anything like Macsyma? If so that is also a bit above my current level of knowledge. I would need to bone up a bit for a finite element analysis program or a aerodynamic analysis program, maybe when I have some income from two or three programs I would have time to study them. What is vortex-lattice, a adaptive grid scheme for CFD? Thanks again, I am keeping these messages so I will have some idea who might be intersted in Beta testing software. Herbert L.
