The "prettyplot" program which is a 'pretty' derivative with precisely
the graphics output that is needed. This  program  was written by 
Peter  Rice  (E-mail:  pmr at sanger.ac.uk Post:   Informatics   
Division,   The Sanger  Centre,   Hinxton Hall, Cambridge, CB10 1RQ, UK)
and is part of the 'EGCG package' which is available freely to all who
run a valid GCG environment.
