Well, the answer to your question turned out to be easy as I expected, but I
still ended up doing a day's work because there were other things to fix as
well.  Once again, all of the doc/x??.i examples produce identical results
to the corresponding PLplot C examples. This includes the neat new
yplot functionality that is demonstrated in doc/x08.i and doc/x11.i.

So far I have only tested the revised yplot on Debian woody, but everything
seems to work well.  Valerij (and anybody else with a yplot interest on this
list), will you please give the new yplot a test on your various Linux/Unix
platforms? You will need to follow the standard instructions for getting
anonymous cvs access to the latest yplot changes. See
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=15416.

Assuming no problems are found, I plan to release this as yplot-1.1.2
tomorrow.
