Attach the data file to your email, and send it to me. I bet I can have
a graph out of Excel, within 10 minutes. Excel needs either fixed
format, (each line the same spacing) or some delimiter between the
numbers, (like a space, tab, comma, etc.).
Lotus used to have a limit of either 2048 or 4096 but I do not know if
there is a low limit (16K or 64K lines?) in Excel. It may have to do
with the amount of virtual memory.
