Byooteeful output now. On ya. I would've checked your book up front but it's the one text
I have trouble keeping on my shelf. :o( I have 5 Fortran95 books and 1 Fortran2003 book
that I can't seem to get *anyone* to read. Sigh.
As an aside, I use shade_surf a lot and I don't ever recall not getting nice looking
output first pop - I've never needed to use the pixels keyword before. But all is well now
- and just in time for my 1 o'clock meeting! Phewph!
shanx,
paulv
