Graham,
I've mentioned this before, and you made some (polite) suggestions,
but I'm not savvy enough to implement this myself: Is it possible to
modify your P&F programme to use a box size of 2% (log scale). In
other words each box is 1.02*previous box? I know there
are "starting" difficulties with log scaling - hence some commercial
P&F packages give different box values depending where their "base"
box starts.
Any thoughts?
Steve
