[Plplot-devel] Known issues in CVS which should be dealt with before release

[Alan W. I. <ai...@us...>]

I just knocked off two items today (fortran command-line parsing, and the
changed Fortran API) so as far as I know that leaves just three items
discussed recently on list which I believe should be dealt with before the
release.

* fortran single precision.... (I plan to do this tomorrow)

* Mac OS X and OSF1 issues with pthreads locking the application so you
could not ctrl-c out of it.  I believe Joao is investigating further.

* OSF1 f77 issues with three of the fortran examples. Two of these are just
compatibility issues and might be resolved by Joao linking in an additional
fortran compatibility library for OSF1.  (At least this is how I have solved
similar problems on other systems.) One of these is a much more serious
double-underscore naming convention problem which I have asked Joao to
investigate further for OSF1 f77 to see if this can be resolved by
an f77 option.
