Thanks for everyone's replies!
I'm experimenting with different methods right now actually, and may not go with
the splines method in the end. But good to know that Spilin runs under WINE,

Hi Jim.

I hit the same problem, and after looking around for some time, I did find a

appreciate any leads!

Happy 2010!

John

Hmmmm Shame, yes there was some nice documentation online in html.  I 
didn't copy it.  I have only the Quickref file.
