These innocent looking lines:

postscript(file="cusum1.ps",horizontal=T)
nn <- 1:15698
cumefri <- 0.948*(15698^0.5+2*nn/15698^0.5)
cumeps <- cumsum(eps)
cumedrif <- cumsum(epsdrif)
plot(cumeps,ylim=range(cumeps),xlab="Observation number",
ylab="cusum",type='l',lty=1)
legend(1000,650,"no drift",lty=1,bty="n")
par(new=T)
plot(cumedrif,ylim=range(cumeps),xlab="",ylab="",type='l',lty=2)
legend(1000,500,"drift",lty=2,bty="n")
par(new=T)
plot(cumefri,ylim=range(cumeps),xlab="",ylab="",type='l',lty=3)
legend(1000,350,"95% limit",lty=3,bty="n")

generated 753155 Apr 25 19:57 cusum1.ps
in R but
  63586 Apr 25 20:50 cusum1.ps
in S

The result look similar on paper, but I find it hard to get
a caption or text close to the R-figure in a Latex document.

Any clue? PS the S is on HP-ux, R is on Linux Redhat 4.2.

Sincerely yours

Helgi
