Fine.

I have read the instructions. However, they seem to be rather complicated. I 
would recommend simpler install -- two possibilities:

A. You have full cygwin installation.
   Unzip usr_local.zip in cygwin's root (C:\Cygwin\...).
   Afterwards, you can find C:\Cygwin\...\usr\local\bin\gnuplot

B. You want to have this gnuplot locally installed for Octave only.
   Unzip usr_local.zip into <where Octave is already installed>
   Afterwards, you can find ...\usr\local\bin\gnuplot


The script starting octave must be modified. It should detect if gnuplot is 
not installed according to A. Then it would look somehow like:

   if fileexist ....\octave\usr\local\bin\gnuplot
	PATH=....\usr\local\bin\gnuplot;%PATH%
	GNUHELP=..../usr/local/share/gnuplot/4.3/gnuplot.gih
	GNUPLOT_DRIVER_DIR=..../usr/local/libexec/4.3
	GNUPLOT_PS_DIR=..../usr/local/share/gnuplot/4.3/PostScript

I hope it will work well with Octave's print('-deps', ...) command.


BTW, I'm pleased to know that the 423win32x11 / 43winbinX11 packages are 
useful ... that may also explain why there are so many downloads from 
SourceForge.
