I am currently using the xgraph program that was posted to comp.sources.x
a few months ago.  I can get the graphs to the screen but I've had no luck
getting hard copy.  The hardcopy selection in the xgraph window allows for
the generation of either postscript or hpgl files.  I have tried both with
no luck.  I am able to generate a postscript file on my mac, upload it
with kermit and print that on a QUME 800IIPS that we have on the network.
When I try to print the xgraph postscript file the same way (with the mac
laser prep) nothing happens.  When I try to lpr the xgraph postscript file
directly, nothing happens.  Recently I made an xgraph hpgl file and tried
to "cat" it to an hp plotter.  It printed out some of the text, but all of
the lines were screwy.  Has anybody succesfully gotten hardcopy from xgraph?
If so I sure would like to know.  Please respond via E-mail as I don't read
the net very often.

P.S.  I am just a user of xgraph.  Someone in our software department did
      the port.  I am still interested in getting hardcopy to work, even
      if it means modifying/coding special routines in xgraph.
