[Plplot-devel] modified drivers allow building a DLL under Windows NT / W2000

[Joachim W. <wu...@cr...>]

I uploaded modified versions of Win32 drivers.
Please find them on the sourceforge patch page
(https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=3D2915&atid=3D302915).
They contain essentially the modifications I described
in several mailings in December.

I presume they are not compatible with archaic (non-NT)
Windows idiolects; I have not tested.

Alan: I am sorry for not submitting this patch earlier;
now it is certainly too late for including it in 5.2.
Better regard this as a first contribution for 5.3.

Olof: since none of us has time to support splitted
versions for pre-NT and NT, I would propose to
formally freeze generic Windows support after 5.2,
and to concentrate on NT in further releases.

Juan: don=B4t hesitate to post further questions directly
to the mailing list - even the most obscure technical
discussion might turn out helpful for someone else.
