Sorry, I tried to mail but got bounced.

Yes I have a use for MultiPlot and a scientific graphics program.  I have
played with the PlPlot library for a little while and found them satisfactory
except that they chew up too much memory.  I have also used your multiplot.
The last release was almost good enough for me to use regularly.  The biggest
problem/bug I found was that if I enlarged the graph, the lines get drawn
outside the viewport of the graph.  That's ok for a toy, but I wouldn't use
something that does that.  I will compliment you that MultiPlot is good.

Unfortunately, the majority of my data is created on a PC and either plotted
on a PC or a NeXT.  So, I have now become very disgusted with my 9-pin graphics.
printer.  Personally, I would like to take the time to work with the PostScript
support in PlPlot and see what can be done with that.  Any more, if it ain't
got PostScript, I ain't gonna use it.  I write papers in AmigaTeX and NeXTTeX 
and my drawings MUST be in PostScript.  Everything looks better at 400 DPI.

I am still interested in MultiPlot.
Thanks,
Bill Murphy
