[Gnuplot-info] Gathering Errors in Batch mode

[Lauren C. <la...@co...>]

Hi All, 

Apologies if this is an FAQ, but I'm in the process of integrating version 4
into our gnuplot-enabled web applications and have the same question I had
back in 2000 (on ver 3.7).

When running on MS Windows, is there any mechanism whereby the errors that
would be displayed in interactive mode (with LOAD), can be sent to a file
when running in batch mode? Or, perhaps more simply, what is the proper way
to get error messages in batch mode?

Thanks,

PS: Congrats on version 4 BTW. It's been a very smooth transition thus far,
and I'm seeing substantial performance increases, not to mention new
features I'm sure will be useful.

If you're running batch mode, and you don't need the windows terminal
type, have you considered (trying to) build a mingw or cygwin version
of gnuplot. This may behave more like you'd expect.

Interesting idea... If no one sees any immediate roadblocks to this, I might
just try it. 

I'm not all that familiar with the innards of gnuplot, but have utilized
cygwin before. Anyone have any hunches which environment (mingw, or cygwin)
would be the most likely to yield results?

Thanks Dave.
