Thank you Eddie. Sometime about 3AM Sunday (EST) I had my 2nd draft, using Adobe Illustrator, finished. As to your questions, the home page for Navigation-L is: http://www.offsoundings.info/navl.htm The upload address is, if I understand correctly: navl@fisheriestrust.org It has been along time since I have poked around line-by-line in PostScript, instead generating a PostScript file from the document and then distilling to a PDF with Adobe Acrobat. f you can do that, that will be readable by almost everyone on the list. I should be able to handle a PostScript file, but not sure about other members. I have never played with hpgl. Bill
