	Hi Dan,

	It took me some time to respond but my mail generated a lot of
responses.
	You wanted more info about the project in my .sig.  Here.

	AmiGraph   is   a high-end   scientific data   plotter   (read
publication-quality graphics generator) which will   have a VERY  nice
interface   to   work with.  It  will   output   professionnal looking
graphics.  Since it will be library  based, the  user  will be able to
add modules as  his needs grows.  We've   made plans for  Statistical,
Fourier and Fit/Filter modules.

	Since we use the PlPlot library, the output can be PostScript,
which is interesting.

	I cannot tell you more now but it will be quite interesting.

	I also work (I'm  alone this time) on  porting some IRAF stuff
on the Amiga.  A.I.R.P. is now obsolete since the arrival  of AmigaDOS
2.0.  It was an "Amiga Intuition replacement Project", a bit like ARP.
It's dead by now.  Anyway, an Alpha version  of AmiGraph will probably
get out in 1991 (I can't be more precise, sorry!).

	Regards,

 - Edouard
