Valery,

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked my home directory and found

-rw-------    1 jakoski  jakoski      56 18 Sep 20:10 .cvspass

So it does exist.

The only significant difference between what you did and my attempt is the
-z3 is in one of my cvs accesses and not in the other. Different server,
maybe? I copied this approach from the "Project: PLplot: CVS" page on the
PLplot website. Maybe the wording there needs some modification so that all
lines have the -z3.

In any event, after reading that I need to update automake, autoconf, and
libtool, I've decided to stay with plplot-5.3.1 for a while. With some
experimentation I found that if I run 5.3.1 with X11, I can get all the
options that I need for now. The only difference is that the newer version
of PLplot allows the use of AquaTerm without starting X11, and .eps or .pdf
files of any graphics window can be easily made. I also personally prefer
the look of AquaTerm graphics to those of X11.

Thanks to all.

Joe
