Data Thief:
The program was written by Kees Huyser and Jan van der Laan of the
Computer Systems Group of the
Nuclear Physics Section at the:
National Institute for Nuclear Physics and High Energy Physics (NIKHEF-K),
PO Box 4395
1009 AJ Amsterdam
The Netherlands
The program is available by email from the authors and by anonymous ftp
from sumex-aim.stanford.edu, macarchives.umich.edu and AppleLink.

There was also a program I used on my dissertation to
digitize a spectrum from an article on an HP-Plotter. You put the pen
on a release mode and moved the pen tip to where you wanted and then
digitized the point. I think the name was PLOTIT or something like
that.
----
At least two packages (NT) off this: Digimatic 800-622-334 ($300.00)
and I think FlexiTrace for Mac platforms (408 508-9349)
----
There is/was a program called Un-Plot-it that could do this.
The original version used an x,y plotter outfitted with an optical
sensor in place of the pen. I believe they have ported it over
to use scanners. I don't have any contact info though.
I recently got a flyer in the mail for a program called UnGraph ($399)
that
can digitize a hardcopy plot using a scanner and turn it into x,y data.
Their contact info is:

Do a search on Silk Scientific on the web...the software is called
Un-Scan-It
----
There was a program available for the HP7550 plotter called unplotit. It
would follow the trace and "re-digitize" the data. It came from:
Silk Scientific Corp.
