Re: wxt terminal in windows hangs

[Mojca M. <moj...@gm...>]

Dear list,

I'm sorry. I take my word back.

Gnulpot used to hang for a very very very long time each time when I
tried it (until I lost all the hope and forced closing it). After the
fifth try it now works without a problem. I cannot figure out what
exactly could go wrong, but it does work now.

I don't like the fact that I have to use
    set encoding cp852
(this could be either automatic or it could support UTF-8 in Windows
Vista and 7) and help files are missing (that could easily be fixed, I
assume), but my original complaint wasn't entirely true.

Gnuplot also signals a "crash" to OS when closed with "that cross on
the upper right corner" which should probably not happen, but well ...
