              Abstract: HANDYPAK is a library of Fortran subroutines which a
                        user may call for defining, accumulating, and
                        outputting histograms or scatter plots, with a minimal
                        number of subroutine calls. Output can be sent to a
                        line printer, or to a variety of graphic devices. A
                        large number of plotting options are available for
                        customizing the plotting format. Sliced projections and
                        statistical means and variances, as well as smooth
                        curves and user specified functions or contours may
                        also be output with the histogram.

                        User blocks may be defined for holding/editting
                        arbitrary user data. Histograms and user blocks can be
                        written to, and read from disk. Handypak also contains
                        CHP2, a Conversational Histogram Package, which allows
                        interactive manipulation of histograms by commands
                        entered at a terminal or read from a command file.
