- I have been using Sigmaplot and Plotit (Scientific Prog. Enterprises, Haslett,
- MI (517)339-9859. Both are DOS packages (sigh) but work under OS/2.
- I like Plotit. It does 2d and 3d, you can adjust anything, and it has a
- pretty good poster utility for overhead transparencies, etc. The owner, Scott
- Eisensmith has a history of really friendly educational discounts.
