Note that the plot(5) format can also be translated to Fig code using
the plot2fig package developed by Rich Murphey of Rice University.  Fig
code can be edited using the Fig graphics editor and then translated to
various Troff and LaTeX-compatible formats, including PS, using the
TransFig package.

Plot2fig and TransFig can be obtained by anonymous FTP from directory
svax.cs.cornell.edu:~ftp/pub/fig
