We have C and FORTRAN compilers. Check out gnuplot, currently at version 2.0 patchlevel 2. It is available via anonymous ftp from cs.duke.edu. The command language is easy to use. Gnuplot can be setup to display/print on various types of devices, including X windows and PostScript; it comes with a nice array of supported devices. A patch to support "dumb" devices was recently sent to developers and debuggers of gnuplot; I haven't checked it out yet, but if it works, I would suspect that it would be included in the next release. But, on the other hand, I'm only an interested observer. ;-) Enjoy... -jeff Jeff Kellem Internet: composer@chem.bu.edu
