Regarding Peter's plotting question (and the notes from Jane Strouse and=
Mick Grzonka):
The best thing to do is have an application that reads postscript -- it is=
not a dead end as Mick suggests. I highly recommend Adobe Illustrator, at=
least on the Mac.

My original reply to Peter...

--
DON'T DO THIS! is my best suggestion. Save the spectrum to disk in UXNMR or=
 XWIN-NMR as a postscript file (just set up a printer for ps using cfpp),=
 transfer that to the Mac using, say, Fetch (Dartmouth free-ware (for=
 academics), and pull it right into Adobe Illustrator. If there is any=
 problem, "Distill" it first to an Adobe pdf file with Adobe Distiller=
 (comes free with PageMaker) and then pull that into Illustrator. It works=
 perfectly and your figures will look a million times better than if you=
 scan them! Canvas will probably read the eps too although don't count on it=
.

An alternative method via hpgl's is described in: Ralph, J. From UNIX to Mac. T.A.M.U. NMR Newsletter 1992, 409, 9-10.
