Assuming your only analysis option is HP LYSYS II, one useful method we
have used is the `print the screen to file' (option in the printing setup
menu). I know this is a bitmap, but after transferring it to a Macintosh we
use a little utility (from BD) called `Lysys to Macpaint' to get the bitmap
into a format recognisable by all Mac graphics programs. Many of these,
like SuperPaint and Canvas, have an `autotrace option' which then gets the
histogram into the object layer of the program where it can be manipulated.
Only down side; this is a black/white only option.
Leon.
