Mark,
(Not mentione as flaming.)

It is long while since Sixtests graphs are printed directly via
"File" menu "print" option.    Alt-PrintScrn trick is
obsolete.
Download latest Sixtest and see by yourself.

Regarding your preference to Sixtests, and statement:
>At this time using any other of the free programs
>available to ATM's isn't a smart idea.
Prove it.
 Enter same data to
different programs and compare the results. Than you will know the
magnitude of difference. But not which one is true. As far as I know no
definite comparison was made of data obtained by
 all those programs with  "officialy certified"  data on one particular
mirror.
(Regarding  reliability of the "officially certified"  data
remember Perkin Elmer Hubble mirror scandal. )


I prefer Sixtests because of extensive literature support, e.g. "ATM
Mathematics",
"Live" adaptation of the program to requirements of ATMers, and
because of James Burrows personality, readiness for help outside
"Help" menu, and his active contribution to the ATM list ,and
other qualities.
But will never dare to disapprove other programs without proposed check.

Regards
Vladimir.
