	We are also very interested in this sort of thing running under
System V , we would like to do such things as cubic spline fitting to
data points etc, BUT it is not important what graphics sytem it runs under,
only that it is simple to use. It would be an advantage if the package just
used system calls to do the job as that would save us buying a graphics 
sub-routine package like GKS or GINO-F.
