That's great. Problem solved. I just moved the example files out of c:\Program Files\DPlot into a new folder.

Many thanks for your swift response.

Location of Example files

Would it be possible to make the LOCATION of the example files a user-selectable option?

DPlot keeps creating a folder (called 'DPlot') containing the examples in the 'My Documents' folder. When I delete it, it reappears the next time DPlot is run. Have I done something wrong?

Plotting GPS co-ordinates

I can save data from my Garmin GPS unit in gpx format. One of the fields is a position co-ordinate in OS grid ref format (UK) [changed from LAT/LONG]
e.g.
NG 40909 20619
NG 40910 20621
NG 40909 20620

I would like to plot these co-ordinates as eastings v northings i.e.

X=40909 Y=20619
X=40910 Y ...
