Re: BOY - XY Graph and macro substitution

Two comments...

I hope (and you should too) that you find more bugs. This is how we find 
bugs. Finding bugs is good, not bad.

Bug tracking systems are invaluable, especially for the developer. Mail 
lists are (among other things) a nice way
to broadcast that a bug has been found to users - a good thing, nothing 
to be embarrassed about, just a natural progression
toward the high quality software that EPICS and related tools have become.

Just my biased opinion..., thanks for your tolerance.
