Re: [Gnuplot-info] can '< paste file1 file2' type of command be used in wgnuplot?

[Jon <dev...@gm...>]

 Thanks, it's the first time I noticed the several gnuplot.exe under the
directory.

But I think I have started cygwin as I also sshed to remote computer and use
gnuplot there. The problem is that I don't know how to make wgnuplot run
through cygwin.

Sincerely,
Jon
