Is there any plot(1G) program that has postscript as an option ? plot -Tps ? plotps ? What I want is something like : echo 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 1 4 0 | graph | plotps Thanks, Budi -- Budi Rahardjo | rahardj@ccu.UManitoba.CA Electrical Eng. | rahardj@ccm.UManitoba.CA U. of Manitoba | rahard@ee.UManitoba.CA Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada - R3T 2N2

There are a lot of other handy utilities too. I don't have a phone number for Adobe, but their address is: Adobe Systems, Incorporated 1585 Charleston Road Mountain View, CA 94039-7900 I don't work for Adobe, I never have, I probably never will. I'm just somebody who uses their software and has access to our sources for it (yes, they give you source, if you pay for it) so I could look up the address :-).

There are a lot of other handy utilities too. Well, here's one, not public domain, but falling under the GNU General Public License... plot2ps, by Richard Murphey (I believe). It is "a utility for converting unix plot files to postscript." (from plot2ps' README). One nice addition included as part of plot2ps is a library (called libps) of plot functions for postscript output. Last I knew, plot2ps was in alpha test. But, that was some time around July of 1989. It can be found on qed.rice.edu via anonymous ftp. Enjoy... -jeff Jeff Kellem INTERNET: composer@cs.bu.edu (or composer@bu.edu) UUCP: ...!harvard!bu-cs!composer
