Until recently I had to use a DEC Pro/350, about which the only good thing was that it's BASIC included commands to plot data points, more or less in the manner of the old Calcomp subroutines in Fortran. Now I'm using a Compaq DOS machine with built-in BASICA, and acquired Microsoft Quickbasic 2.0 as well. Neither of these forms of BASIC has provision for simply plotting points as little circles on an x-y graph, and seem intended for people making animated cartoons or something like that. Do I have to buy a separate plotting package to do what I want? Does anyone have any recommendations?
