Hello Gerald,

Hmmm...never heard of MAPGEN and PLOTGEN, have used GNUPlot a
lot in the past.
I hope you will do the plotting routine in C to make it portable to other
platforms too :-)

Yes, he is the one I was refering to. He had some initial problems with
the format, do not know if he is able to resolve it.
I was suggesting LaTeX, since it can be compiled to DVI, PDF, PS etc.

What is the format of the original documentations (before converted to
the pdf)? Can this be released to the public?

Best regards,
Paul.
