You'll want to use a charting library.  VB/DOS Pro, for example, has a
charting library capable of creating very sophisticated (as in, it was
based on Excel's charting) Pie, Column, Bar, Line, and Scatter plots.

To get it into a standard format, use a TSR screen capture utility.  I
believe that a few are out in the public domain on CompuServe.

Thanks, Steve
