- The closest match to what your supervisor is presently doing would be
- GNUPlot for OS/2 (available via anonymous ftp from ftp-os2.nmsu.edu)
- and CorelDraw 2.5 for OS/2.
-
- However, depending on your needs, you might find that PM Chart
- (included with OS/2 2.0) is enough. I would also look at PM Draw
- (which just popped up at ftp-os2.nmsu.edu; filename pmdraw2.zip),
- Micrographx Draw for OS/2 (commercial), Lotus Freelance Graphics for
- OS/2, and, naturally, any DOS or Windows software. There is no
- shortage of options here.
