"Doh!"  Thanks.  But for some reason, when I did, it didn't work for 
me.  I got the error messages  "Error in catalog C1577test line=11"   
and  " `.1' is not a valid floating point value"    
(black screen, no chart).  Couldn't see any reason for that.  Opened 
the .dat file in Notepad.  Thought I could edit or delete line 11.  
Saw that CdC had reformatted the file, so I deleted it and recreated 
it with Paste, resaved the definition, and... Success! --- well, not 
complete success.  When I zoomed in, the "object name" labels all 
appeared (including the catalog name), even if I had never clicked on 
them, so it was all overlap and black space.  I had to turn off star 
names (letters) to solve that problem.

I have it, but maybe it doesn't yet do some things that 2.75 will.
(Crashes, too.)  By the way, what directory should MySQL be in?  I 
installed it in its own (default) directory, and it doesn't run.  
(Icon appears for a few seconds on the taskbar every time I start up 
the machine, then disappears.)

I have those things turned off anyway.  (I'm covering a 15-year time 
span.)
