It seems that the program will plot functions with values which range up to at least 1e+255 (just try plotting exp(x*x) ), but it will not read in data values nearly that large. I tried getting it to read in a series of points around 1e+100 and got an 'all points undefined' message. The problem seems to go away if the maximum value is around 1e+38. I did a quick grep through the source and it seems like every scanf uses %lf (which is right for doubles), so that isn't the problem. This is kind of a wacky bug. Any clues? -greg
