I think yo should take a look at the prophet system.  It has been written
by the folks at BBN under a contract from the NIH.  It runs on SUN, Ultrix
and some other flavors of Unix.

I believe it goes for about $500.

It does great graphics on a sun, and pretty good tek output as well.

Does this too...

In fact, it does just about everything you listed....

Sorry I posted this... but I think more people should know about the package,
after all it has been developed using our tax dollars.

You can get a hold of the Prophet people at:

	BBN Laboratories Inc.
	10 Moulton St.
	Cambridge, Mass  02238

A good person to talk to is either Wayne Rindone or Howard BIlofsky.

Have fun...
