Hey Rich,

I missed your question in all of the recent shouting about Access and the 
absolute superiority of some distros over others.  You might also take a look 
at Xmgrace, which descended from Xmgr.  It is available at

http://plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il/Grace/

It has very nice features, is more polished than Xfig (which I also like very 
much), and gives you complete control over your plots.  But I haven't played 
with the spline feature and can't say whether it will satisfy your needs.
