-be written in several formats; currently, ASCII, PostScript, and HTML
-are supported.  In the future, more drivers, such as PCL and X Window
-System drivers, may be developed.  For now, Ghostscript, available from
-the Free Software Foundation, may be used to convert PostScript chart
-output to other formats.
