I'm looking for a public domain application which will allow
me to draw or draft a simple schematic respresentation of my
experimental apparatus and then allow me to input data from
a file onto this 'template'... I want to plot things like
contours of the current density, but instead of onto a simple
rectangular plot onto an outline of my experiment... I will 
be running it on an IBM RS6000... I just picked up xfig from
export (btw, what is the internet address of export.lcs.mit.edu?)
will xfig do what I want?.. I'm hoping to get something that 
is relatively simple, i.e. I don't want to do a major amount
of programming (I'm not a C programmer is part of the problem)...

Any help will be appreciated!
