Boy, that would be nice. > That sounds very much like the Eplot library that we have here....The library is here on our Suns....and is available for the Amiga. Its so programs written on the Sun can also be used on the Amiga, of course we use our Amigas here as graphics terminals on the SUN [we use Eterm]. Eplot is also available on IBM's...and I believe there are versions for the Mac and the ST. I don't know about availability outside of the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Calgary, but you could try contacting Dr. M.

What are the specs on it...like how would it compare to Eplot. >ron LKC
