     The following options are available:

     ----cccc   check x and y boundings and asks new ones.

     ----gggg[n:]"string"
	  goto the n-th (or first, if n is omitted) line with
	  "string" in it.

     ----hhhh[n]
	  for horizontal axis: if n<0 draw no lines; if n>0 draw
	  vertical lines; if n=0 draw nothing, else make horizon-
	  tal scale (default: -h: n=0, no -h: n=-9).

     ----iiii   interactive: boundings and options and certain mistakes
	  will be asked.

     ----llll   the points (and the h-scale) will be plotted horizontal
	  linear.

     ----mmmm   no marks will be placed.

     ----nnnn   no plotname will be printed.

     ----oooo   a line will be drawn on y=0 or x=0.

     ----qqqq   the plot can be a square (hplot .. Q).

     ----ssss[n]
	  skip n lines after the g-option (default: n=0).

     ----vvvv[n]
	  for vertical axis: if n<0 draw no lines; if n>0 draw
	  horizontal lines; if n=0 draw nothing, else make verti-
	  cal scale (default: -v: n=0, no -v: n=4).

     ----wwww[nnnnn]
	  0<n<9, tells which column will be plotted (default: all
	  columns, column nr. 0 is the x-column).

     ----xxxx[[xmin][,xmax]]
	  draw plot within x-boundings (default: x-min and x-max
	  of x-column).

     ----yyyy[[ymin][,ymax]]
	  draw plot within y-boundings (default: y-min and y-max

     _T_a_b_p_r_e_p_l_o_t generates a plotfile out of a table with x,y
     coordinates.  The plotfile can be plotted with one of the
     plot programs.

     The table in the inputfile must have names above every
     column, and must contain one x-column (the most left one),
     and may contain one to eight y-columns.

     The table can be embedded in a larger file, e.g. a SPICE
     output file; the "-g" and "-s" options can then be used to
     skip the initial part of the file until the table.

     Tabpreplot rereads the inputfile n+1 times (n is number of
     plots), so the input cannot be given directly from the ter-
     minal.
