John,

Thanks very much.  If you would like me to try the new snapshot, and it 
is ready soon enough, let me know what the email attachment size would 
be, if it would exceed about 100k.  There is a limit on email size going 
to the ship, but it can be relaxed if I know in advance that something 
is coming.

I have encountered surprisingly large differences between Numeric and 
numarray:
  pcolor_demo2.py takes about 3 seconds with Numeric, 80 seconds with 
numarray.
In tests of non-plotting operations, I have generally found numarray faster.

The cruise is going fine.  Weather was a bit rough off New Zealand but I 
expect it will be fairly smooth from here on.  This is a Small 
Waterplane Area Twin Hull (SWATH) ship, so it rides better than most; it 
is a little like a catamaran on stilts, with most of the buoyancy in 
fully submerged pontoons.

Eric
