Until recently I had to use a DEC Pro/350, about which the only good
thing was that it's BASIC included commands to plot data points, more
or less in the manner of the old Calcomp subroutines in Fortran.  Now
I'm using a Compaq DOS machine with built-in BASICA, and acquired
Microsoft Quickbasic 2.0 as well.  Neither of these forms of BASIC
has provision for simply plotting points as little circles on an
x-y graph, and seem intended for people making animated cartoons or
something like that.  Do I have to buy a separate plotting package to
do what I want?  Does anyone have any recommendations?
