Can you send a diff -u for the changes you made?  It'll be easier to see the
actual differences and integrate them into the code.

Since people have been asking how to do patches, here's what I'm looking for
here:

1) Determine the version of orcallator.se you are using
2) cd /tmp
3) Get the same original version from the web site
   wget http://www.orcaware.com/orca/pub/orcallator.se-X.YY.txt
4) Do the diff
   diff -u orcallator.se-X.YY.txt /where/us/your/modified/orcallator.se >d.txt
5) Email d.txt

Are there any errors that Orca is warning about?  Can you send the plot {}
configuration file options that are not working?
