Thanks to all for advice re: posting other folk's code.  It would take a while
for postings to make it through the backlog on c.b.i.p. anyhow, so I won't
bother.  I guess the best thing to do is contact the authors listed in
the documentation.  It's a bit hard for me, being overseas and all.  Sorry to
raise anyone's hopes unnecessarily.  A couple of hints, though:
1) there is an LPT utility included free with Harvard Graphics;
2) any program run within MS Windows can be ported to a file by declaring
the file to be an output port in WIN.INI.  This will work with e.g. 123 if
you declare a postscript printer when setting up and redefine LPT1 before
using PrintGraph.
3) there is one MAJOR drawback that might not be evident if you've only
used hardpronter connections before; the PS files tend to be on the immense
side (like 3-700K for a single graph), so I hope you have lots of storage
space, lots of patience, and/or a good background upload/print program.

Once again, sorry for the blundering.  Next time I'll know better.
