 I was looking for a plotting program about two years ago and couldn't find
anything at the time. I tried porting an early version of GNUplot but it
didn't at all do what I wanted (to plot data in fact very much the way
MultiPlot does it).

 That said, having looked at a recent copy of multiplot on an A2000 here
recently, I noticed that the title in one of the demo graphs doesn't get
displayed properly. The labels do, but not the title. Tsk, tsk :-) :-)

Otherwise, it looks like a very nice start and the various possible
output formats Mr. Baxter chose seem like a very good start/selection.

It's too bad I don't need to plot stuff anymore (the course is over).

While I'm on the subject of graphics, the Post11.lzh file in incoming/amiga
on xanth is truncated. The program is there but the source got snipped off.
Would whoever uploaded it there initially please do so again?

P.S. although lharc seemed to survive unpacking the archive with but a slight
hiccup at the end, LhArcA0.99c bit the big one with an endless, unbreakable
loop of CRC errors while trying to just open the archive. Big tsk, tsk.
