It certainly wasn't XML, but it was extremely useful when I needed to write C code that chunked out hundreds of pages of graphs for different parameter values. grtool is probably still out there somewhere. That job converted me to the text-based file format religion. It would have been much harder to do something similar on a Mac or PC using something like DeltaGraph with its binary file formats. +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | Elliotte Rusty Harold | elharo@s... | Writer/Programmer | +-----------------------+------------------------+-------------------+ | XML: Extensible Markup Language (IDG Books 1998) | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0764531999/cafeaulaitA/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Read Cafe au Lait for Java News: http://sunsite.unc.edu/javafaq/ | | Read Cafe con Leche for XML News: http://sunsite.unc.edu/xml/ | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
