I'll write you a BarPlot function tomorrow between football
and the turkey. Maybe we can pull you back into the fold. ;-)

Maybe. I hope you are right. The test will come in January
when we get to evaluate book sales. I told my wife last
night that I could be completely wrong about all of this
and I could turn out to be a bust as an author, husband,
and provider. She said she knew that. :-(
Cheers,

P.S. I guess the reason I've never written a BarPlot
program is that I've never needed one. What kind of
data do you put in one? Can you point me to a graphic
example of something you have used a bar plot for?
What kind of features would it have? The guys who
are waiting until 2018 to upgrade might have need of one.
