|     I don't know about public domain implementations of a PostScript(TM)
|   plot filter, but Adobe's TranScript(TM) package (which provides various
|   utilities for using PostScript under Unix) includes a psplot filter that
|   is compatible with the standard Unix plot utility and generates
|   PostScript.  There are a lot of other handy utilities too.

Well, here's one, not public domain, but falling under the GNU General
Public License... plot2ps, by Richard Murphey (I believe).  It is "a
utility for converting unix plot files to postscript." (from plot2ps'
README).  One nice addition included as part of plot2ps is a library
(called libps) of plot functions for postscript output.

Last I knew, plot2ps was in alpha test.  But, that was some time around
July of 1989.  It can be found on qed.rice.edu via anonymous ftp.

Enjoy...
