Re: 16-bit versions of gnuplot doomed?

[Petr M. <mi...@ph...>]

I propose to let gnuplot 3.7.3 to be the last one supporting 16bit machines.
This may change only if there is a strong feedback, as you say in your
posting. You could add this announcement to the new web page too, section
"Development".

On DOS 386 machine, people can use compiles by emx (or djgpp) -- anyway, I
haven't heard long time about any such compile, but as emx is used to
compile the OS/2 version, it should work too "in principle" (another
terminals).

Machines with 286 and Win3.1 -- obviously not the production machines of
today, but still can be used in labs for running experiments -- I guess
people are happy with gnuplot plotting nice curves as 3.7.3 does, with the
memory requirements gnuplot <3.7.3 has, and don't need those features for
which gnuplot 4.0 has been extended.
