Okay, yallara's ip number is 131.170.24.42 and here is some blurb about graph+

Graph+ is a utility program for producing graphs.
Its main advantage is that it allows easy manipulation of data using 
dynamic tables in memory using a relational style language (project etc.)
rather than requiring a number of separate programs piped together.
Graph+ also allows functions to be defined returning values or tables.
Output is in the format for input to the plot (1) filters.
The program leplot(1) converts plot output to postscript which can then be
included in LaTeX or Troff documents, it is included in the package.
There is also an xgraph+ included, methinks.

Note that the plot(5) format can also be translated to Fig code using
the plot2fig package developed by Rich Murphey of Rice University.  Fig
code can be edited using the Fig graphics editor and then translated to
various Troff and LaTeX-compatible formats, including PS, using the
TransFig package.

Plot2fig and TransFig can be obtained by anonymous FTP from directory
svax.cs.cornell.edu:~ftp/pub/fig
