Re: [Plplot-devel] -dev tk has an embedded blank issue

[Arjen M. <arj...@de...>]

Hi Andrew,

I can have a look too, if you want. While I have always been annoyed
by the use of spaces in file names and directory names (complicating
things beyond whatever benefit I can see), it is a worldly fact, so
PLplot will have to cope with it.

Regards,

Arjen
