Netlanders:

I help run some academic computer labs for Rutgers students.  One of
the areas that we are lacking in is graphics software.  While we do
offer Lotus 1-2-3, most users find this overwhelming for their simple
graphing needs.

The majority of our undergrads with graphing needs are computer
novices.  They will be assigned a project to be completed with the
tools they are most familiar with.  Often, this means they are using
MS-BASIC interpretor and outputting their results to a file.  A simple
program that could read an ASCII file and produce a limited variety of
graphs would save these users from the grief of learning Lotus 1-2-3.

The types of graphs required are line, xy, xy1y2..yn, and scatter;
though bar, stacked bar, and pie charts would be nice too.  The
software should provide some title and legend capabilities.  Our
systems are PS/2 25's, 30's, 50's and 60's with color displays.  All
systems are attached to NetWare/386 servers, and HP LaserJet III's are
the hard copy devices.

I know there are a few commercial packages available that would server
well, but budget restrictions preclude their purchase at this time.

Any suggestions will be gratefully accepted.
