  I don't know about public domain implementations of a PostScript(TM)
plot filter, but Adobe's TranScript(TM) package (which provides various
utilities for using PostScript under Unix) includes a psplot filter that
is compatible with the standard Unix plot utility and generates
PostScript.  There are a lot of other handy utilities too.

  I don't have a phone number for Adobe, but their address is:

    Adobe Systems, Incorporated
    1585 Charleston Road
    Mountain View, CA  94039-7900

  I don't work for Adobe, I never have, I probably never will.  I'm just
somebody who uses their software and has access to our sources for it
(yes, they give you source, if you pay for it) so I could look up the
address :-).
