The following may be a frequently asked question, apologies if that
is the case.

In our Department we are looking for a versatile graphics 
package for IBM-compatible computers.  We would like the package 
to be able to:

  1.	plot to data points;

  2.	plot smooth curves to data points;

  3.	fit curves to data;

  4.	plot mathematical functions;

  5.	be able to add things to the graph, such as arrows, 
        lettering, etc;

  6.	use scientific and Greek symbols.

The main use is for scientific work.

If anyone has any package they can recommend, I would be 
grateful to hear from them.

Thanks in advance,

Ian Johnson.  email:  ijohnson@gara.une.oz.au
