Hi Shyamal,

Thanks for the kind words, those are always appreciated.  Sorry for the long 
delay in responding.

This is a pretty simple error to fix.

In this part of your configuration file

plot {
   source        TEST_GROUP1
   data          column_name value
}

you cannot have any leading whitespace before the source and data lines, 
otherwise Orca thinks they are continuations of the previous line.

So it should look like

plot {
source        TEST_GROUP1
data          column_name value
}

Yes, help is always nice.  Just let us know what you want to work on.  There's 
been some recent Oracle discussions on the mailing list.

Development work should be discussed on the orca-dev at orcware.com mailing list.

Regards,
Blair
