More information

• This is based on a clever contribution by John Morrison (see the Batik sources)

• It has been tested on Win2000 and on IBM's z/OS 1.4 mainframe operating system.

• Mainframers with z/OS can download a more familiar distro from CBT File 706

• The rest of us can download it from this wiki svglinecharts-1.2.2.zip (the zip includes an XSLT stylesheet, html doco and a tutorial)
