Thanks. I used a shareware program called WPlot, I copied the graph to
the ClipBoard (copies as a bitmap) pasted into a graphics program,
reduced colours to two and saved as a Gif file. The file shrunk by over
a Mb.

I had a bit of trouble with the ISE measurement. I had run out of KNO3
buffer and so the readings were drifting a bit and I couldn't afford the
time to let the measurements settle. Must invest in a magnetic stirrer,
as long as that doesn't upset the ions, then I will be able to measure
without a buffer. Anyway the all important last measurement put the
curve into perspective, and it is not drawn freehand, but by the graph
program.

Indeed.
