We've evaluated several different graphing and drawing packages for
the PC and while we've come across some that are quite powerful, none
seem to be able to be installed very cleanly on a network. We particularly
find that all the Windows-based stuff is retched when it comes to network
awareness (not to mention being slow and unreliable). But, I figure someone
out there using a Novell network must have found a suitable network aware
graphing and/or drawing package. Please, talk to me!

I red an article in Pc-Tech about CoPlot,CoDraw and CoStat (CoHort Software P.O Box 1149, Berkeley, CA 94701)( Phone : (415) 524-9878). I received some informations about those softwares and decided to buy CoPlot and CoDraw. I'm still waiting for them, so I can't tell you if they are what they claim to be. But: They are low priced ($99 each or $259 for the whole package), run with or without mouse, support CGA,EGA,VGA,MCGA,ATT6300 and Hercules screens and a lot of printers ,including HPGL plotters and PostScript printers, and they don't need to run under Windows .... I hope this will help you. Ps: I'm using a PC-NFS Lan (not a Novell Lan), but that should'nt be a problem for you. =========================================================================== Pierre Antoine ANGELINI IFSIC/IRISA Campus de Beaulieu Universite de Rennes I Avenue General Leclerc 35042 RENNES CEDEX - FRANCE Tel : 99.36.20.00 ===========================================================================

There are packages and public domain (or shareware?) that will
trick tha average program into thinking its running locally, while in
fact it is on the network. If anyone would like info, just drop me a
line.
