The xyplo program is available by anonymous ftp from ncifcrf.gov in the directory pub/delila. Get all the files that begin with 'xy' in binary mode. One of them is the program in Pascal, another is the same in C. To compile in C, you will also need 'p2c.h.Z'. Example input files are given. Output is in PostScript. Documentation is in the source code. Questions, problems or comments? Email to me. Also, please tell me what happens if you do try the program.

We have C and FORTRAN compilers. Check out gnuplot, currently at version 2.0 patchlevel 2. It is available via anonymous ftp from cs.duke.edu. The command language is easy to use. Gnuplot can be setup to display/print on various types of devices, including X windows and PostScript; it comes with a nice array of supported devices. A patch to support "dumb" devices was recently sent to developers and debuggers of gnuplot; I haven't checked it out yet, but if it works, I would suspect that it would be included in the next release. But, on the other hand, I'm only an interested observer. ;-) Enjoy... -jeff Jeff Kellem Internet: composer@chem.bu.edu
