Re: st: error: invalid ticklist "01jan2000" must be number

Howdy

  I cannot see anything wrong with your command at all. As you show (and I verified) it 
works great with the -tsline2- example you show, and I tried variations of inserting bad 
dates and could not reproduce this error. Perhaps this is one for tech support?

Best luck!
