I will do that -- where is the home site of plot2dev?  I would like to
add the URL to the MORE.STUFF file in the groff package.

xgremlin works, but xgremlin2 not (yet) -- the graphics are displayed
OK, but I only get black boxes instead of letters if I type in some

expert, and I don't have the knowledge (and the interest, I must
admit) to correct it.
