Yes! At least I didn’t forget it. This mail should have an attachment,
but for sure here’s the source code:
==========
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;

class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
ProcessStartInfo processStartInfo =
new ProcessStartInfo(@"gnuplot");
//new ProcessStartInfo(@"C:\Programme\gp460win32\binary\gnuplot.exe");
processStartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
processStartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;

Process gpProc = new Process();
gpProc.StartInfo = processStartInfo;
gpProc.Start();
StreamWriter gpcommands = gpProc.StandardInput;
gpcommands.WriteLine("splot x+y");
gpcommands.WriteLine("bind Close \"exit gnuplot\"");
//gpcommands.WriteLine("exit");
gpProc.WaitForExit();
}
}

Now I know that the Mono compiler has the same problem.

The thing with linux is just a hint for you. I have to work under MS at
work. And in this special case, I also do not have the choice to use
another language than C#.
