    PlotData is a software package consisting of a plotter with
data analysis capability.  With PlotData, data can be plotted on the
screen, viewed, edited, analysed, differentiated, integrated,
calculated, and reproduced graphically.  Many sets of data can be
overlapped to solve systems of equations graphically.  Users can
zoom in and out within graphics.  There is an interactive menu
and on-line help in an editable text file.
    It can be interfaced with other software, such as SymbMath
(a symbolic calculator) or CurFit (separation of overlapping peaks).
PlotData can read data from these software packages, without any
modification, in the BAS-100 instrument format and in many other
data formats.
    If SymbMath is interfaced with PlotData, SymbMath produces
the data table of functions, and PlotData plots from the table. So
SymbMath seems to plot the functions. This interface can be used to
solve equations graphically.
    It runs on an IBM-PC under MS-DOS with 100 KByte free memory,
monitors such as CGA, EGA, or Hercules, and many kinds of printers.
    It has three versions: shareware, student and advanced. Its
shareware version (Plotd13A.ZIP) is available from the Plot directory
in SIMTEL20 archives on many anonymous FTP sites (wsmr-simtel20.army.
mil, garbo.uwasa.fi, rana.cc.deakin.oz.au, etc.) or by e-mail from
