The download link for bin00000.bin is the image. It is not PNG, but rather a gzipped xwd. I don't know why it's .bin instead of .xwd.gz. I recompressed it as a real PNG, and attached it to this mail, for your viewing pleasure :) PNG gets 3.5 times better compression, probably because this image only uses 8 bits of colour, and the xwd was 24bit. Someone else mentioned that this graph should go up on a website, but someone else shot them down. I think the suggestion was just for this image in particular, not that this should be done for every image-attachment on all lists. Anyway, I agree that it would be cool to have this graph and the data available on a web site. (With the data in a two-column ascii list, rather than a spreadsheet or something that needs to be downloaded and dealt with separately.) Of course, then we might need to make up excuses, or preferably find solutions, for the exceptionally long bugs. -- #define X(x,y) x##y Peter Cordes ; e-mail: X(peter@llama.nslug. , ns.ca) "The gods confound the man who first found out how to distinguish the hours!
