I think GGobi is also *supposed to be* more "Windows"-friendly, as it does not need an X Server running -- whereas you need to have an X Server running on Windows in order to use XGobi. The installation process of GGobi is also easier. If my memory serves me right, I think the XGobi development has sort of stopped and the developers are now concentrating on GGobi? I could be wrong though... The other thing, I think, is that GGobi supports XML data format and XGobi doesn't (or not very well?). -- Cheers, Kevin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?'
