Angela,
please keep me posted on what you come up with.
I do like the EpiMap program from the CDC which unfortunately is currently only running on MS-DOS if I am correct. However it is written in TurboPascal which if I am not mistaken exists on the Mac.
*AND* what I like immensely is the fact that the new GNU Pascal Compiler has some Turbo Extensions so one might see development on Unix (Linux I hope :-)-O) under X11R6.
I cc this to the adress I had from their developers some time ago.
