Python+Matplotlib would probably be a good (and free) alternative to MATLAB.

If any one is interested in the program, I will be glad to send it to you.  Unfortunately you will need an application called MATLAB to run the program.  If you do not have MATLAB, but would still like a program, please let me know and I will work on a freeware version.

This is no big deal because I do more than this during a typical year. It&amp;#39;s just that, when I entered today&amp;#39;s yardage in the GTD spreadsheet, it came up exactly 300.00 miles! I wasn&amp;#39;t trying to hit this on the nose but it was interesting to see it come up.

Actually, Donna, as I have mentioned before, my people evolved from the scaly critters.  I&amp;#39;m pretty much lost on dry land.
