The power of these facilities was y e w different. Sometimes the program could only draw a curve, in other cases the packages was extremely powerful. Not only was the power of those graphics very different, but the ways to get graphs drawn was even more different. One package used menus only, another was PF-key driven and another one used different types of APL functions with different arguments. Unfortunately I am using APL on various platforms and I would like vew much to get a seattergram in APL2/PC more or less in the same way as I get it using TRYAPL, APL.68000 or APL*PLUS; in the same way on my Atari, on my Macintosh, on my (Power-)Mac, on the VAX or on
