So that should be the last one in the file, and the first (atend)  
should be replaced. Slightly different script, but not too hard.

Aargh: Grace! Well, officially they can do this, but Grace generates  
possibly the worst ps code I've ever seen. (plot some measurements  
with noise. They use a 'Miter' linejoin on small straight segments.  
Makes your data look rather worse, it exagerates the noise. But, to  
each his own. Don't rush, I'm off now, won't be able to look until  
tomorrow evening.
