 Hi Lloyd Wood,
               Hi,
    I tried to install DSTOOL by the method you have listed. However, I 
 guess I am going wrong somewhere. It will be great if you can list out 
 the steps. Also, did you execute the tweaked commands at the terminal or 
 modified the dstool_tk file? I think it will be great if you can list 
 the steps out so that I can install it in Ubuntu.
    Also, I wanted to ask you if you can export data from DSTOOL to 
 Geomview by doing the following steps:
 1. Go to Models -> Vector Fields -> Lorenz System
 2. Once this 3D system is loaded. I want to transfer the data to 
 Geomview to see a three-dimensional plot. So Panels -> Three-dimensional 
 View -> Send to Geomview.
    Please confirm if you are able to see the 3D plot. Screenshots will 
 do. Please help! It is urgent.
 Thank you
 Ananya
