It has to be pointed out that this document is not specific to wgnuplot. 
  "help plot data binary" is the same for all versions of gnuplot on all 
platforms.

The snapshot doesn't actually show that.  What you're looking at is 
wgnuplot trying to read all bytes you promised it.  But some apparently 
got eaten.

The problem boils down to this: wgnuplot doesn't really have a 
non-interactive mode the same way other platforms do, and binary data 
cannot really be in-lined, because they lack a recognizable EOF.
