The Standard Mathematica Package Graphics`ImplicitPlot`
does what you want. Here is a simple example:
In[1]:=
Needs[ "Graphics`ImplicitPlot`" ]
In[2]:=
ImplicitPlot[ x^3 - y^2 -1 ==0, {x,-3,3},{y,-3,3}]
Out[2]=
-ContourGraphics-
It is documenmted on pages 165-7 of the Guide to Standard
Mathematica Packages Technical Report.
I hope this helps.
