Error plotting lcdemo.dat

[Bastian M. <bma...@we...>]

When trying to plot "lcdemo.dat" using the current CVS version, I do get 
the following warning:

gnuplot> plot "lcdemo.dat"
               ^
          warning: Unrecognized 5 column plot style; resetting to 
boxerrorbars

Is that to be expected? Does anybody else see that?

Yeah. Sorry, That was a side-effect of adding "pointtype variable".
That increased the maximum number of columns relevant to "with points"
from 4 to 5.  That's fine if the plot command actually consumes all 5
columns, but if the data file contains more columns than the plot command
uses, then the extra ones have to be ignored gracefully. 
Fixed now.
