I am looking for a package that runs under X that will allow me to display graphs, tables, etc of numbers generated by a simulation. I think what I'm looking for would include things like displaying the mean and standard deviation of a set of data, or maybe even putting up data on an x,y display and then plotting a regression line. Does this sound confused and vague? To be honest, all I know is one of my users wants me to come up with "something that will do math and graphical stuff." I'm just the implementor, but I would rather not implement something from scratch if somebody else out there has already done it (probably better than I can :-). I realize that this is a vague request, but any vague (or pointed) pointers that anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated. Especially on this initial request, please email me. If later on somebody helps me clarify my question, or if the response merits, I will post additional information. Thanks to one and all, John Reading jonesm@nic.cerf.net <-- I still haven't gotten my own account :-(

This is easy. annon ftp prep.ai.mit.edu, cd pub/gnu, bin, get gnuplot2.02.tar.Z and then build it in sleep. Then give Gary Perlman, the author of unix|stat a email, and get his well written pkg, more info below :-) __________________________________ excerpt ____________________________________ Ordering Information 8/30/89: Carefully read the instructions below.
