[geeks] Quick graphs

I need to put together a few graphs tonight.  These are just line
graphs.  I have my data in the form of a text file with each line
representing a point on the graph, and each line being a number, then
a space, then a second number (representing x space y).  I just need
something extremely simple that will spit out a .eps file suitable for
import to Illustrator since I have to do a lot of formatting and
markup stuff to it.

I was trying to make gnuplot work last night, but I couldn't get it to
do what I want.  I plan to look at yacas tonight, but I don't have any
idea if it can spit out .eps files.

EPS files are supposed to be simple.  Perhaps the fastest way would be
to write a C++ program to read in the data and spit out .eps files, as
soon as I figure them out.
