Re: [Plplot-general] Windows Visual Studio Port ?

[Alan W. I. <ir...@be...>]

Hello Bryan:

In any case I would urge your group member to upgrade to 5.0.1 (see the
5.0.1 file release at sourceforge.net/projects/plplot) since it is a much
more bug-fixed product than that old snapshot which we no longer support.

But beyond that it would be nice if they could provide me with a patch
between a clean tree (no created files such as binary objects or executables
and no CVS directories) of their results that has been upgraded to 5.0.1 and
a clean 5.0.1 tree.  If nothing else, the patch could consist of a file
telling how to get 5.0.1 installed on a current windows system, but I assume
there would be other changes to the sys/win32 tree as well. I would be
willing to facilitate getting that patch into our CVS so other windows users
could benefit from your group member's work.

Alan
