Update of /cvsroot/plplot/plplot/examples/f77
In directory sc8-pr-cvs1:/tmp/cvs-serv26045

Modified Files:
	x17f.fm4 
Log Message:
* Style changes (comments, indentation, do loops).

* Make this fortran "chart recorder example" work for first time.  There are
some inevitable differences relative to the C version.

  . Used g77 (and solaris fortran and ?) library rand function to generated
    random numbers.  Users will probably have to substitute some other
    library call for random numbers for other compilers.  Note the numbers
    returned by rand are different from those of the C Library routine
    drand48 so the interactive results look different (but still it looks
    like a chart recorder which is cool.)
    
  . plsError not part of the PLplot common API so bypassed it and let PLplot
    do its own error handling.
    
  . Dropped sleep interval from loop.  10 ms is about right, but the g77
    sleep routine only has a resolution of 1 second (which is like watching
    paint dry).  Actually eliminating the loop delay altogether still makes
    a good-looking "chart-recorder" example (at least on my 600MHz machine).
