Clark, please remove the below-mentioned files, and remove their

dashtype.gz
   This patch implements the ability to request the dash pattern directly on
   the plot or arrow commands. By Eric ? <sh...@al...>
   Relative to gnuplot 3.7.1.

Somebody can comment on this patch?

===========================================================================

gnuplot_opengl0.04.patch.gz
   An OpenGL outboard driver for gnuplot 3.8b or newer, written by
   Michael Cohen <Mic...@ie...>.

I think the author (or anybody else) should put this patch to gnuplot
sourceforge Patches section. It will definitely not apply, but may be
useful for future...

sgml.tar.gz
   First shot at a doc to SGML converter, plus diffs for docs/Makefile.in,
   plus gnuplot.sgml.
   By Lars Hecking

I think doc2sgml.c should be put to cvs. Whether it will be used in future or
not does not matter.

gnuplot.pdfcompat.patch.gz

Included below is a patch to add pdflatex compatibility to the pslatex
term when the auxfile option is selected. Without the patch, the
output of this term is incompatible with pdflatex because of the use
of postscript specials and the mechanism used to include the
postscript graphics file. The patch modifies the terminal in auxfile
mode so that postscript specials aren't used, and the graphics file is
included using a mechanism which works for postscript and pdf (ps2pdf
should be used to generate the pdf version of the postscript graphics
file). Including the following before \begin{document} allows
latex and pdflatex to be run on the same latex source file when
including pslatex (with auxfile option) outputs from the patched
gnuplot.

Author: ???

Can someone look whether there is something useful for the current
rewritten (e)pslatex?
