I haven't tried it, but I recieved a blurb on 'Spidre', available for $195
from PennWell books. 918/831-9421. Does linear, semilog, loglog, etc. Lots
of options, full control over annotation, interfaces to lotus or any columnar
data file. "Spidre is a technical plotting program created specifically for
persons whose requirements cannot be satisfied through general purpose graphics
programs." Has lots of enthusiastic user 'quotes' in the ad.

A few other things it does: scatter plots, curve smoothing, multiple symbols,
up to four axes and ten data streams on a single plot, etc etc....

If anybody has or gets a copy, please review it for us!
