Performance Data Charts
Performance Data Charts
The charts are 80-characters wide, and the samples displayed in this section are
arranged in alphabetical order. (Some extra columns were eliminated in charts in this
section so they could readably fit in this format and be readable.)
If you request printouts of all the charts, your output displays a table of contents for the
charts.
