Well, having said this, I guess it took me about 5 minutes
to knock it out. :-)

You can see an example of the plot here:

http://www.dfanning.com/misc/mpi_plot.jpg

I used an iterative process, whereby I used MPI_PLOT
to create a title with a gap in it, and a little program
I cooked up in about 3 minutes to allow me to place
a word on the plot interactively with the mouse. The
program is called PlaceText.

Here are the programs you need:

Cheers,

David

P.S. Let's just say it would probably take a Herculean
effort to do it *automatically*. :-)
