Installing PLPLOT

PLPLOT is distributed on a single floppy disk. The disk (labelled PLPLOT) contains the plotting library, some example programs, the source code and the documentation.

If you don't have a hard disk, then there is no installation procedure. It might be wise to make backup copies of the floppy disks though.

If you have a hard disk and want to install PLPLOT on it I recommend creating a :plplot/lib directory on your harddisk and then copying the library there. The following commands will do the trick.

makedir HDDISK:plplot/lib
copy plplot1:lib HDDISK:plplot/lib all

Be sure to substitute the name of your own hard disk for HDDISK in the above commands.
