Art,

Back from 2 weeks of travel....

In a class with multiple users running NMAP2 on different workstations, do
they share a common "guest" or "student" /home directory, or do they all have
local home directories?

My first thought was that the .DEFAULT.vgf or .UNDO.vgf file that is created in 
the working
directory that NMAP2 was launched in might be getting stepped on.

I created a sample set of lines and test lables, grouped them as labels and then
ran the graph-to-grid utility and didn't seem to hit anything sticky on
my own, but the .UNDO.vgf file would be something that could be clobbered if 
multiple
users were in the same directory (either home, or a shared working data 
directory).
