Probability Distribution for Figure 7
This
matrix of numbers gives the confidence levels for the probability distribution
plotted in Figure 7. Each row of the file gives a value of
Omega_M, Omega_Lambda, and Prob for the entire matrix of Omega_M from 0.00
to 2.99 in steps of 0.01 and Omega_Lambda from -1.00 to 2.98 in steps of
0.02. The following fragment of a computer code (written in the IDL
language) to read the file and plot Figure 7 may help with this.

jval = long(300)
