Lee,

You'll have to write a small script in Perl to rewrite these lines
into a format Orca can understand.  You'll want something like this:

1040062350 3
1040062450 4
...

The first column is the number of seconds since 1970 and is the same
number returned by time().  You can use the Perl TimeDate package
in orca-0.27/packages/ to parse your existing data "2002-12-16 08:58:57"
into the number of seconds since 1970.

Then I would take a look at orcallator.cfg and see what to copy and
what to delete to plot your data.

Best,
Blair
