Does anyone have experience with IMSL's exponent graphics system?
It is new and I would like to get some user feedback before we
invest a couple thousand dollars in it.  My particular concerns are:
    1)  How well does it support X
    2)  How easy is it to use (i.e., are the Fortran linkages simple
        and straightfoward, are there routines to do simple things
        like plot x-y data or do you have to construct them from 
        primitives (like you do in Disspla), etc...)
    3)  Does it support decent contour plotting?  Can it contour plot
        randomly placed data?
    4)  Is the documentation sufficient and clear?
    5)  Any major bugs found?  How is IMSL support{
    6)  How does it compare to Disspla and NCAR graphics?
Any info would be appreciated!  Many thanks!
