A week or two ago I posted a request for information about using PLPLOT
to produce HPGL (HP Graphics Language?) for use with PLT:  If you don't
already know what PLPLOT and PLT: are, PLPLOT is a nifty little PD plotting
package which does everything from simple line plots to 3d surface plots,
(Thanks, Tony Richardson) and PLT: is a nifty little PD handler for previewing
and printing HPGL (Thanks, Jimmy Miller and Rich Champeaux).  
With Jimmy and Tony's help I was able to get PLPLOT to spit out HPGL, or go
directly to the printer.  It sure beats a screen dump, much higher resolution.

I would like to publicly recommend their work to the rest of the Amiga
community.  Nice work.

PLPLOT was made available to comp.{binaries|sources}.amiga.  I am uncertain
whether PLT: has made it to comp.*.amiga yet, but it should be on its way.

P.S. (To Jimmy)

My mail keeps bouncing to you.  So I haven't been able to thank you personally.
