Just for general information.  There are many function plotting
programs already in existence including /pc/graphics/plot61.zip and
/pc/ts/tsfunc13.arc available from garbo.uwasa.fi archives.

Sure.  For example Turbo Pascal and Turbo C have inbuilt routines
for the task.  There are also separate programs for this task to be
found e.g. in /pc/sysinfo/infop145.zip and /pc/ts/util31.arc.
