PGPLOT, which is free, callable from Fortran, and works nicely on both 
OpenVMS and Unix (and probably on PCs too, but I've never tried it there.)

For interactive plotting of data files and other similar tasks I've become
very fond of GLE.  It is an archaic "command" driven plotter, but it 
gives better control over the final output than does gnuplot, so that you 
can tweak things to come just as you want them to.  I re-ported it to
OpenVMS and cleaned it up so that it would work correctly on Alphas, see:
