Re: funny behavior at making wgnuplot.chm on mingw from cvs source

[Tatsuro M. <tma...@ya...>]

Hello 

Perhaps what I met concerning '-' was environmental dependent.
Using PC in my home (win XP 32 bit), '-' worked as Hans and you explained.
The funny behavior for '-' was happened at PC in the University (win 7 64bit).

I will confirm at university on Monday.

Thank you for detailed explanations.

Regards

Tatsuro
