A year or so ago Herbert Sauro posted a message about a utility called
vExplorer that he wrote for graphical exploration of the properties of
mathematical functions. It was (and is) available from the BTK-MCA FTP site
in Oxford.
I found this a very nice little program, as did others who commented on it
on this news group. However, from my point of view it had the serious
disadvantage of being a Windows program so I had to switch on my PC in
order to run it, and I wrote a program to do this same thing on the
Macintosh. This is (with Herbert's permission) also called vExplorer and is
now available from the BTK-MCA FTP site at
ftp://bmsdarwin.brookes.ac.uk/pub/software/mac/explorer/. There is a web
page describing it (with a screen shot) at
