    gary, 
   
     A question, where can I get a copy (or maintin the latest version) of 
the PLPlot libray and DOCS.. Is there a non TeX version?  I would like to stay
updated on the status... I dont have the programming time this semester but
I am thinking of starting a GOOD plotting prg... heres what I was thinking 
about:
    
      o  A real time rotation of 3D graphs (I've seen Caligari do it!)
      
      o  Ablity to plot in all kinds of 2D and 3D coordinate systems
         (polar, cylindrical spherical etc..)
    
      o  Can specify parametric eqns (x and y in terms of t)

      o  Simple printer output

I'm not a mathematician so I don't know what I'm getting myself into.
If ypou know of any prgs besides AmiPlot2.0 (which is a good fast small prg)
Please drop a line and would like to hear more about the above prg...
