README file for MS Windows version of gnuplot.
9th June 1992
The EXE is called WGNUPLOT.EXE.
To get the help to work, put both WGNUPLOT.EXE and WGNUPLOT.HLP file
in the WINDOWS directory.
It runs in standard and enhanced modes on a 386SX.
It will run in standard mode on a 286/287 only if a floating point bug is
fixed in the Borland C++ 3.0 run time library. See the bug fix below.
It won't run in real mode for obvious reasons - not enough memory.
The "gnuplot: graph" window has two options on the system menu -
"Print" and "Copy to Clipboard". The "Print" option allows selection
of the printer and scaling of the output.
"Copy to Clipboard" copies a bitmap and a Metafile picture.
The makefile is makefile.win. Windows gnuplot can only be created with
Borland C++ 3.0. Before making wgnuplot you will need to edit the
TC = line to specify the location of your compiler.
Before creating wgnuplot, the files wingraph.uue and wintext.uue will
need to be uudecoded to wingraph.ico and wintext.ico respectively.
Windows help is provided but is limited by the original gnuplot.doc file.
The READLINE code has been included, but the cursor keys are used
by Windows, not by gnuplot.
Text justification depends on the default screen size and default
system font. Changing either of these will stuff up the justification.
Known bugs:
printf("%f") doesn't work on a 286/287 with Borland C++ 3.0.
To fix this bug, you need access to the run time library sources.
Edit crtl/math/fbstp.asm to add an FWAIT instruction before and
after the FSTP instruction on line 122.
Rebuild the mathwl.lib library and then relink gnuplot using the
new mathwl.lib.
