Mark,

Thanks for the enclosed information and interest in PLplot under Mac=20
OS X.

I can take a look at your proposals, but as I lack a Mac I need=20
further support from you. If we, at PLplot, agree to incorporate your=20
changes into PLplot, are you willing to continue supporting the=20
changes, namely sending patches against cvs?

Thanks a lot,
Joao

| That's about it for now.  Hopefully, this makes sense.
