Hi,

I have narrowed the problem down to "set format x"

It seems if I have a time format as in the example I posted it produces  
the  "Bad format character" error.

This presumably means it was producing an error on trying to output a  
datum rather than reading in a line.

Now I guess you're going to tell me this is a feature but I did not notice  
anything in the doc indicating time format data could not be in table mode  
so it seems like a bug to me.

That the output is in seconds is not a big problem now it is actually  
outputting something. So that's good news.

Now I can do all the "number crunching", like finding the mean of 12 data  
points, that gnuplot can't do.

Seems like an aweful lot of work for something so trivial.

;)
