how about it, folks! there's got to be something better than a bootlegged Lotus PrintGraph. i need something that will allow me to graph arbitrary functions and axes -- hopefully with bitmapped teeny numbers. ... for a PC with a hercules graphics card. are there DOS programs which can do this? thanks in advance. want the pizza, too? just give me the address of a Pizza Joint near you, and a mega-handy pointer to a graphics package and i'll see what i can do.

One possibility is True Basic Calculus. It does a number of silly things, one of which is a reasonable job of graphing functions. I just finished graphing some things with a Hercules card. You enter functions in a resonable form; e.g. sin(x^2)/exp(-x^4). True Basic 39 South Main Street Hanover, NH 03755 (603) 643-3882 I'm not sure how much it costs. We got some with calculus textbooks. In case this does what you need, you'll need the following: Kelly's 102 N. Page Ave. Endicott, NY Why is it that in a town with dozens of Italian restaurants, I can only get good pizza at an Irish sports bar? Fred Sullivan SUNY at Binghamton Dept. Math.

It's not real fancy but it'll certainly do what you're asking for.

It was very clearly stated in the summary that this is SHAREWARE, meaning (as I'm sure most of you know but apparently Craig B. Ziemer doesn't), that you pay for it voluntarily if you use it and like it. I asked only $15 to encourage registration, not to classify this as public domain. If you're talking about some function plotter that I don't know about.......never mind. Bob Kaires PS I might as well use this opportunity to advertise that I am releasing a new, much enhanced, version in a few weeks.

Russ Nelson has kindly pointed me at a PC version of gnuplot. i had seen gnuplot run on Suns before, but had no idea it was available for PCs. i'll be trying it out over the next couple weeks... thanks for all the help, folks... steve
