For those with tighter than normal budgets :-

I'm not sure if people are familiar with a public domain
scientific 2-D plotting program for MS-Windows called DPLOT?

It can be obtained free via the World Wide Web at :-

------

It is very fast and also user friendly (superior to many rival
commercial programs) - though I can only base this on using
the Fast Fourier Transform part of the program as well
as zooming up the result. (The two commercial plotting programs
I have don't have in-built FFT analysis).

Cheers,

Lachlan.
