I'm looking for a graphing package for an IBM AT clone. I would prefer public
domain or shareware, but if none are available, I would be willing to buy it.

What I'm looking for is something similar to CricketGraph for the Macintosh.
In general, I need a x-y coordinate grapher with curve fitting, error bars,
interpolation and extrapolation, ability to overlay graphs, etc.

I would like something fairly easy to use, perhaps modeled after a
spreadsheet. I currently use Quattro, but it's oriented more toward business
graphs. I'm not interested in pie charts, bar charts, etc. It can't do any
curve fitting (other than straight lines), error bars, etc.

I have tried Optiks, The Draftsman, and a couple other shareware programs,
but none do what I want. I suspect that I will have to buy commercial, so
would like recommendations. I'm sure there has to be something out there.

Thanks.
