Runs under Suntools or X. -- Scott Schwartz <schwartz@shire.cs.psu.edu> GnuPlot also runs under NeWS. It's available via anonymous ftp, from tumtum.cs.umd.edu. The NeWS interface, written by Dick Phillips and Dave Forslund of LANL, lets you view your plots in NeWS windows, which you can zoom into, overlay other plots on top of, and dump what you see in the window to a file as PostScript that you can print (it will print it for you, if the lpr command works!), or display at with the PostScript previewer in NeWS. (Sorry about the run-on sentence, but I just couldn't stand the thought of ending it with a preposition! ;-) -Don
