The modified procedure works OK once I double the thickness of axes,
etc. by adding the following to the plot command:

psym=-6, symsize=2, thick=2, xthick=2, ythick=2, $

: code. It looks OK on my display, but perhaps I'm not that picky
: for display purposes. Now, hardcopy, that's something else. :-)

I guess I am picky - the result still looks fuzzy and a little chunky
to me. I *much* prefer PostScript fonts and would use PS but for two
things:

- Much of my work can end up both in internal memos and on our intranet
web site, and it seems that GIF is the portable way to do that.

- EPS with preview doesn't show up in Word, and when I have many similar
plots to put in a document I don't like to rely on filename alone.

Looks like I'll need to take the time to read your PostScript chapter
and try your tools!

Thanks for the reply!
