Got similar interests here. I've been using PGPLOT on the Vax since it
came out, the price was right!
Tried to get it to work with a Tektronix 4207, but something is a little
different between it and the 4105 series.
I was able to get an old version of Gnuplot (3.4) to compile and run on
a Vax

I've never heard an accounting of where the fault lies, or why IBM isn't being

Another article on this subject today. This one claims the
Mainframe in question is 40 years old. Maybe it really is
