RE: Empty PNG files

[Jonathan Fowler]

Strike my last message - I got the syntax to work (I missed the terminating "." 
on the first line...I'm getting used to syntax input).

However, the PNG file that is produced from this command is empty. 0 bytes.

Did you remember the terminating `.' ?

          I can get the syntax commands to produce analyses in HTML and ASCII, 
but
          when I instruct the system to produce a plot (e.g. boxplot), the 
output file
          is empty. 0 bytes. What am I doing wrong?
     
     Perhaps there is a problem with the cygwin plotter or with your libplot 
installation, or perhaps your data set has no values.
     
     Do you get anything with the code below?
     
     
     input program.
       loop #i = 1 to 100.
         compute x = normal(50).
         end case.
       end loop.
       end file.
     end input program.
     
     examine x
        /plot=boxplot.
