I realized that UCol was using a PDP-11, not a VAX, so I switched to
running things under Ultrix 3.1. Using the extended plot libraries that
UCol provided on the usenix tape, I was able to get Tektronix 4014 output
which I was able to run through a modern tek2plot. Here are links to the
raw plot file and an SVG, which I think is most useful for this sort of
display.
