status of xgfe (x11 front end for GnuPlot)

[Glenn B. <gbb...@ve...>]

I'm interested in reviving 'xgfe'.  I've been using the Win32 front end at the 
office, and it would be nice to have equivalent, or better, functionality on 
my Linux system.

The link on http://www.gnuplot.info/links.html to 
http://home.flash.net/~dmishee/xgfe/xgfe.html is stale, but I've been able to 
find a copy of version 2.1 somewhere, and, after a few changes, have it 
working on a "modern" system.

So, my question is, does anyone know how to contact the author (David Ishee), 
to find out if I'm working with the most current version, and what he'd like 
to do with whatever changes I make?

And, second, is 'xgfe' the best starting point for my little project?

Thanks.
