Hello

Excuse me for skiping the your new post.
The previous mail I have written to be ignored.

I'm a windows user but the cygwin user.
On the cygwin, building gnuplot from source is very easy and I'm using the cvs version gnuplot.
Because the new feature is required for my use
I think that gnuplot can be easily built on unixy environments.
So that distribution problem may not be serious for unix users.

Regards

Tatsuro
