[Kst] Trending from daily CSV Files KST-Plot Windows Version

[Barth Netterfield]

Jörg,

Sorry for the slow reply.  I have been very busy with getting a payload
ready to fly - and will be for another month - so I may not be particularly 
responsive...

I think we should be able to do what you want using python scripting, which
we have just recently got working under windows.  Though I also suspect that 
the attempt to do so will produce a fair number of opportunities to fix some 
bugs :-)

Regarding file dialog messages: does File->Recent Data Files -> Clean up non-
existent data files fix it?

We are looking forward to the new subway lines :-)
