#  But I love the grace plotting package so much (xmgrace) that I wrote some
#  simple .m files to allow me to use it with octave in place of gnuplot.   I
#  find them very convenient, but they were written by me for me, so they are
#  very unix-centric and do minimal sanity checking on user input.   Also, they
#  don't have many miles on them yet.

#  On the other hand, they do have (simple) built-in help and I have written a
#  simple example script which shows you how to use the routines, and the gzipped
#  tarball is currently only about 2k bytes.  

#  So if there are any xmgrace fans that would like to try them out I'll be happy
#  to send them to you.  Just drop me a line if you are interested.

  Sure, send it. I don't know 'grace', but it seems to be installed on
my machine.

  Cheers,

  Etienne
