Hi,

In the next five weeks I don't have the time for sistematic plplot=20
development; however I will be able to make small corrections and bug=20
fixes.

| environments available to him at the same time.

That's fine for me.

OK, I will try it again, but I will need independent testing=20
(suse-7.2), as my system is heavely hand-tuned.

Yes, but it still work in progress.

Have you recently tested an installed plplot? I think to remember=20
that there was some problems left from java?
