	Plotdata is a software package of a plotter with analysing
data. With PlotData, data can be plotted on the screen, viewed, 
edited, analysed, differentiated, integrated, calculated, and 
reproducted graphically. Many sets of data can be overlapped to solve 
systems of equations graphically. Users can zoom in and out graph.
	It offers an interactive menu environment for the easy to use, 
and on-line help.
	It can be interfaced with other software, e.g. SymbMath (a 
software package of a symbolic calculator), CurFit (a software package
of a separator of overlapping peaks) [1-3]. PlotData can read data in 
these software formats 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 the functions, and PlotData plots curves 
from the data table, as SymbMath seems to do graphics. Users can use 
this interface to make the pictures, to plot the function values, 
and to solve equations graphically.
	Its on-line help file is a text file, so users can edit it 
as they like.
	It runs on an IBM-PC with 200 KByte RAM under MS-DOS, the 
graphical monitors (CGA, EGA, or Hercules), or the dot matrix 
printers for the hardcopy.
	Shareware version of PlotData (PlotD11A.ZIP) is available
free from the Plot directory in SIMTEL20 on many anonymous FTP sites 
(e.g. wmrs-simtel20.army.mil, garbo.uwasa.fi, rana.cc.deakin.oz.au).
