After extensive looking, I've been using two pieces of software for
sonograms. Both do color sonograms.

First is the shareware program SoundHack. http://www.soundhack.com/
This does beautiful sonograms, but the author put them in more as
entertainment, so it's a little tricky getting them. You have very
limited control over scaling. All the sonograms on my frog pages were
done with this.

The second program is commercial, and expensive, and only fairly
recently available. This is SparkXL 2.0 from:
http://www.tcworks.de/

This is a very capable sonogram display built into it's filter stack.
Many settings available to tune the sonogram. Runs sonograms in realtime
as the sound is playing. While much easier to set up and do, you still
have to do a screendump to put the sonogram into a graphics file.
