ChaosPlot is a simple program which plots the chaotic behavior of a damped,
driven anharmonic oscillator. To solve the second-order differential equation,
it implements a fourth-order Runge-Kutta algorithm on

            dx/dt = v 
and 
            dv/dt = f(x,v) = F_0 sin(wt) - kx -qx^3 -bv

The interface is simple, and the parameters can be modified by the user.  Three
plots are available: x vs. t, v vs. t, v vs. x.  The graph can be printed, but
not saved.

Tested on a PowerMac 7100 running system 7.5.1.
