I have been reluctant to post about PlPlot, but I will admit to a second
front end for PlPlot.  It is not completely polished and presently does
2D plots.  You can change the line style, symbol style, axis labels and type
as well as plot multiple data sets on a plot.  The front end relies upon
the ARP libraries for a file requestor.  Data must be in an ASCII two column
format in order to be read by the front end.

This package is not polished, but worked well enough for the author to
finish his disertation.  Note, I am not the author.  Anyhow, I would be 
willing to post this if I get some time to recompile it with the newer
version of the PlPlot library.
