GNUPLOT for OS/2 PM -- Installation
===================================
This program requires OS/2 2.0 or later.
1) Setup for the WPS.
=====================
Open a command line session, copy the archive file to its own
directory (say, c:\GNUPLOT), and unzip it there.
The EMX.DLL file MUST be copied to a directory pointed to by
the LIBPATH statement in your CONFIG.SYS file.
A program object can then be made which points to GNUPLOT.EXE, and has
the above directory as its working directory.
To do this, drag a program template to a suitable folder.
In the 'Program' page of the 'Settings' notebook,
enter the program name under 'Path and file name'
e.g. c:\gnuplot\gnuplot.exe
In the 'Working directory' field, enter the directory name
e.g c:\gnuplot
Close the notebook.
Clicking on the object will then start up GNUPLOT.
You can specify the object's program parameter as '%*' to enable you
to drop files onto the Gnushell icon.
2) Setup for running from the command line
==========================================
GNUPLOT can be run from the command line when set up as above,
simply by typing:
[C:\GNUPLOT] gnuplot
In addition, you may specify GNUPLOT files on the command line.
These files will be plotted, and the program will exit when the last has been
plotted, in the usual GNUPLOT fashion.
3) Environment strings
======================
The program will use the GNUPLOT environment strings if these are
defined; the string GNUTERM will be ignored.
4) Running GNUPLOT on its own
=============================
GNUPLOT may be run on its own from the command line, if you do not
need graphic output on the screen. In this case you may need to define
the usual GNUPLOT environment.
5) Deinstalling GNUPLOT
=======================
GNUPLOT and Gnupmdrv do not create any hidden files or any entries in
OS2.INI or OS2SYS.INI. Saved option settings are kept in a GNUPMDRV.INI
file in the program's working directory.
The program can be deinstalled by simply deleting
the files that have been unpacked from the archive, and undoing any
changes you have made such as setting environment variables.
6) Documentation
================
The file gnuplot.inf contains the GNUPLOT manual in the OS/2 Information
Presentation Facility format. It can be viewed by using the 'view' command
of OS/2.
The files in subdirectory doc contain the LaTex source for the manual.
This should be run through LaTex twice in order to resolve cross-references.
