Re: What's left for a 4.2 release? [drivers]

Some comments on the Windows bugs:
Since I only have access to Win XP and Win 2000 I can only test on these
machines. Especially the printing problems seem to be related to Win 9x.
I cannot reproduce them on Win XP.

This is reproducible. Question is if it qualifies as a bug.
wgnuplot cannot handle any user interaction while it is
running a script. That's a design issue which would need some
effort to change. At least does current behaviour seem to
be non-obvious to users. I'll have a look at it when time permits.

I have never seen a behavior like this.

All of this works just fine on my system. But that's XP...

There's one more issue: current CVS builds crash on a Win NT4
system on startup. I suspect this has to do with my
'appdata-code' which I just cannot get right :-( I do not
have access to NT4 or Win9x. Could somebody help me out here?
