Hello I have prepared the windows, DJGPP and cygwin binary packages of the gnuplot-4.4.1 for the preparation and the estimation. They are uploaded the below http://www.tatsuromatsuoka.com/gnuplot/Eng/gp441/ Notes: 1. I have update the document README.Windows for the windows package concerning install to the windows vista and 7. I have also add the explanation of fc-list-gp.exe, which is the fontconfig a utility. Please check them. 2. As I have reported the here, the help file generated by my system has problems. http://old.nabble.com/help-file-on-windows-td29457099.html#a29457099 I have update gnuplot.rtf for windows help work shop. Will somebody generate wgnuplot.hlp from it?
