I suppose this is a good time to remind people of another 
program which works like this: g.gnuplot. gnuplot is a plotting
package that does x-y graphs, x-y-z surfaces, contours, etc.
g.gnuplot works just like regular gnuplot (for those of you that know
the program), but it uses the grass driver (whichever driver
is selected).

Modifications necessary to make g.gnuplot from gnuplot v3.2 sources
are available from pasture.ecn.purdue.edu:/pub/mccauley/grass.  There is also
a sun4 binary there.

For more information about gnuplot, use archie or see
the newsgroup comp.graphics.gnuplot.

Because of certain restrictions, I cannot contribute this code
to grass4.1 (though it is freely available---see above).
