The correct top-level documentation page is http://www.gnuplot.info/documentation.html I've now put in a redirection to the correct page, but is there a link to the incorrect URL somewhere that we need to fix?

As soon as you publish a page it will get linked and will turn up in search results. The best policy would seem to be only to post valid documents on-line and leave them in place for reference as newer ones become available. regards, Peter. |

I meant "not intended to be accessed directly" as "is version specific and would better be replaced by a generic link to the current documentation" > The best policy would seem to be only to post valid documents on-line > and leave them in place for reference as newer ones become available. It was a valid document. But because it was accessed through a symlink, the relative directory paths did not resolve correctly. That part is now fixed. But I'd still like to encourage any links that are specific to version 4.2 or 4.4 to be replaced with links that resolve to whatever is the current version, or to the top level listing that includes links to both current and past versions. cheers, Ethan > regards, Peter. |

Ethan, Thanks for your reply. I think I must have picked up http://www.gnuplot.info/docs_4.4/ from a Google search. > I've now put in a redirection to the correct page, but is there a link to > the incorrect URL somewhere that we need to fix? That seems to have fixed it -- all the links look OK to me.
