Here's a sample chart.  These are generated every morning and available

Jared,

I played YAPPPACK quite often some time ago. I like it very much. But
somehow I failed to generate the gif file from the csv file as sample
shown. Can someone shade me some light on this? I tied very hard to make
the graphs from the csv file but just don't know how.

Thanks,

Joan
