	Ron,

	If by chance the design was done in Allegro and you had
	access to the database, you could try to organize your fail-
	ure data by category and refdes (or similar), you could un-
	doubtedly conjure a way to represent this on a plot.

	In fact, I can think of a couple ways to do this.  Of course,
	it's easier to think of than do.

	Good luck,
