Summary -- can one do traditional scientific plotting (fortran style) into a PM
window, and still have WRITE (or printf, depending) statements output
to the screen somewhere?

I'm trying to assemble a scientific programming environment under OS2.  F2c and
gnu gcc are the main ingredients.  What's missing is graphics.

I had planned to port a graphics package -- initially an old Tektronics-style
system; if that works I'd consider the pre-GKS NCAR package.  

  I would like my OS2 box from which I run the program to remain visible and
display the output from fortran write statments (or printf).  I would like the
graphics to appear in a PM window.  My experiments so far (based on SAMPLE3
from Mark Johnson's GCC port)  have not succeeded. (I can plot, but printf
doesn't seem to work in a PM program).

One way to get this would seem to be to start a separate thread for
the graphics window; then do all plotting via messages to it from the "main"
task.  Isn't there a simpler way?
