I think we used to use mapsig for printing map sections with single characters to show peak height. You could set it so that low or no density was just a dot and higher values were 0...9 ... A... Z ... * #, etc. up to the maximum or maybe it was another one of Ian's programs. It made peak searching with a text editor pretty easy just by searching for the characters corressponding to the high values. I don't know if that's any use.
