[PD] cumulative distribution?

[david golightly]

Are you using [until] to feed a counter, or have you been using [line]?  I 
had this problem too until I realized the problem wasn't [tabwrite], it was 
[line].  Try something like:

[512(
|
[until]
|
[f]X[+ 1]
|
[f(x)]
|             \
[tabwrite yourtable]

assuming your table's been resized to 512

-  ---=---^---   -^-  -=- - - ^------ - -^---^-  -- --^^  --===
