Neither scatterplots nor the ? tool work, for instance.

I would tend to agree. I will go out on internet and see if I can search down a program that does this for you, though (there may be an SVGA version out now, I don't know). And who knows, with a little searching we may be able to find someone who has already done this. :) ||||| Jesse D.

It would be nice if the ROMs were *legal* to reproduce (through software or other methods) by anyone that wanted to, BUT as I understand it, this is not the case. PK
