layers is very good, but don't neglect the older uw software, which has a
couple of advantages - the Mac version includes a Tektronix emulation,
and versions for other machines exist (viz, Atari ST, at least).  uw is
also rather better documented.  I got my copy from
atari.archive.umich.edu, but I'd be surprised if copies weren't
available from more traditional MacArchives!

It might also be worth noting that both of these systems require a
bsd-derived Unix host - they require pty support.
