- I've been looking at Origin from MicroCal. It seems fairly complete and it can
- do error bars out of the box which is a big deal around here. The other
- package that gets used by the folks in BioStat is SigmaPlot. They do some
- reasonably sophisticated plotting, and there is a Windows version of SigmaPlot
- due out Real Soon Now -- in fact, if you buy the DOS version, they'll give you
- the Windows version for free ;-). I think both run around $500 US.
