Is there a way to make new datatypes in Mathematica? I have some routines for reading various sorts of data from files, along with some information about the data, like label to use for plot, axis labels, etc. And I would like to be able to treat all this like a single object. I supose I could just use a list, and have the first element be the data itself, the second element as the label, etc. and then have functions like setLabel/getLabel but this dosn't seem very elegant. Any ideas? -- Morten Nygaard Aasnes mortena at ii.uib.no "Nothing's the same anymore" Fantoft Stud.By A626, (+47)55276131 -Sinclair in b5:"Chrysalis" N-5036 FANTOFT, NORWAY www.ii.uib.no/~mortena <*>
