I use Passage frequently at work.  I especially like its ability to import
_many_ formats and the fact that it only updates when you tell it to.  It 
also has a lot of flexibility, but I wish it had a few object tools (e.g.,
line drawing).  I also wish it gave me a little more flexibility in array
sizes.  When I want to load 6 small data sets and plot them on a 1 Meg 
machine I get memory limited because of the way it allocates memory.  In 
general, I really like Passage and use it most of the time instead of 
Cricket, my only other option.
