Tektronix 401x demo files?

[legalize]

Hi, I was watching a demo video of a Tektronix 4006 today on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-F7ZySfgZ0

Clearly this person obtained a bunch of Tektronix plt files (e.g. already rendered into Tektronix 401x escape codes)
and is just catting them to the terminal output. Files shown in the video: SKIDMORE.PLT, ISCO00.PLT, ISCO02.PLT,
ISCO07.PLT, ISCO08.PLT, ISCO10.PLT, ISCO14.PLT, ISCO27.PLT, ISCO36.PLT, and ISCO49.PLT.

There's also the DISSPLA demo file shown in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eq49CyWMZ_c

I'd like to collect as many of these "classic" Tektronix 401x style plot files together in one place and link them from
the pages on the terminals wiki.

Unfortunately searching for the exact text "SKIDMORE.PLT" is impossible with Google and other search engines because
they strip the punctuation.

If anyone is aware of ftp archives or web sites where this stuff is stashed, please comment here!

Dont remember where I got it, but here is the file you want :

ftp://ftp.dreesen.ch/TEK4014/plt.tar

I will demonstrate my Tektronix 4014, using ( part of) that file, on the next VCFe in Thun, Switzerland, 17 & 18 March

Thanks! That's exactly the kind of thing I was looking for!

It was probably from here:

The site is no longer around. I think the owner passed away.

OK, yes, Chuck Forsberg:
