This is not a direct answer, but we had some need to do something similar with bursting from chaotic systems (finding the bursts and the burst intervals). We found the scientific plotting program IGOR to be very useful. It's pretty easy to program, has very powerful features (along with graphics) and can handle large data sets. If you will be doing lots of data analysis/plotting, you should check it out. It's very popular with the Mac scientific crowd. It's available only on the Mac. -- Lou Pecora code 6341 Naval Research Lab Washington DC 20375 USA pecora at zoltar.nrl.navy.mil /* My views are not those of the U.S. Navy.
