Just to report that I hacked out a -cibplot- which Eva has tried
out privately. Certain things are wired in, because others are
against my prejudices, although anyone with the energy to read
the help file and the competence to modify the code could tweak the
program to their prejudices.
As Kit Baum is away this week, and from Thursday I'm away on vacation
for a while, it may be a time before this is up on SSC, but it now
exists.
