I use contour plotting software from mainframe, and capture the picture
onto my own disk.

One software that can possibly be used is 3-D Graph. Contour plotting
can be carried out by choosing the top-view option. But the result
is not really a CONTOUR plot. Another disadvantage of such softwares
is that they run into trouble (or become extremely slow) when one
tries to plot a huge data file. That is the reason I prefer using
things in mainframe. Advantage of 3-D Graph is that it plots everything.

There is also a program called ContourPlot that can be FTPed
from somewhere, but I don't remember where it is now because I don't
use it.
