==== Description: ====
ComPlot is a collection of Ferret scripts, or package in short, that makes
creating comparison plots in Ferret a bit more easy.  Ferret is a
visualisation and analysis environment for oceanographers and meteorologists
(ferret-vis in Debian).
The main purpose of ComPlot is to compare model results with data by plotting
the data onto the model output as dots.  It is meant for oceanographers who
want to compare ocean model output with observations.
It is programmed almost exclusively in the classic Ferret scripting language,
but several standard Unix commands (like sed) are used to overcome limitations
in the Ferret language.


==== Other Software Required: ====
- Ferret, Open Source Definition (sic), http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/Ferret/
- awk(1), sed(1), printf(1)


==== Other Comments: ====
The source files do not include a license header, because this would be
somewhat of a problem.  This program exists of Ferret scripts that are
typically first ran through GO/HELP script.jnl before issuing the actual
command (without HELP and with other arguments).  Through this command the
script is displayed through a pager.  In this way the user would be presented
very often with the license header.  That is not useful.  As an alternative I
have included a file called "HEADER" in the scripts directory, but I am open
to other suggestions.
