[CM] MCL 5 with CLM / openmcl plotters?

[Rick Taube]

If you just need to display points and not listen to or edit them, then 
perhaps gnuplot would be the way to go. Someone posted some code on the 
list that blasted out plots of midi data from cm. Im sorry I cant 
remember who did this, but hopefully they can repost!
