The short answer is
$ setup epics
$ StripTool optional_file.cfg &
I'll update the documentation.

According to the documentation one should be able to specify
the axis type using X resources, for example with a
~/.StripToolrc file, e.g.
$ more .StripToolrc
StripTool*foreground: Blue
*StripGraph*xAxis.valueType: XjAXIS_ABSTIME
$
The default X axis type is XjAXIS_RELTIME_DATES which give the
relative times Atsuko saw. I should point out that mousing over the
graph displays the actual time and data value in the lower
right hand corner.
I haven't gotten the axis type change to work yet and have contacted
the developer.

I've asked Craig to check the apache server configuration on
sdsscommish. Part of the problem was that I had not created
the /mcptpm/ChanArchTmp directory - but access issues
remain.
