- Pretty disgusting, isn't it? About a year ago we undertook
- a similar search and finally decided to stick with the Mac
- for our contour plots (painfully slow for large data sets).

- You might look into Wingz. The Mac version does everything
- you want and I understand it has now been ported to many
- Unix platforms, though I've never personally used it on
- anything other than a Mac. Here's an (old?) address to try:

- Don't know if it's available for the ibm/rs6000, but
- worth a look.
