I wrote a basic program to plot data points from a mainframe and
was struggling with axis generation, etc., when I realized that
LOTUS 123 could do beautiful graphs (for my purposes) in seconds.

You just write you data to an ascii file in some sort of rows/columns
and then import it to the spreadsheet.  Lotus drives dot matrix printers
and plotters, laser printers, etc..  There are other, stand alone graphics
programs like MS Chart, etc. that may be suitable.  I would seriously
consider this route if you are just trying to turn numbers into plots.
