GLE is a hi quality graphics package for scientists. GLE
combines a user friendly interface with a full range of
facilities for producing publication quality graphs, diagrams,
posters and slides. GLE runs on PC's, VAXes and Unix.
It provides LATEX quality fonts together with a flexible
graphics module which allows the user to specify any feature
of a graph (down to the line width of the subticks for example)
Complex pictures can be drawn with user defined subroutines and
simple looping structures.
The SURFACE utility allows hidden line surface plotting.
The CONTOUR utility allows contour plots.
The MANIP utility allows columns of data to be manipulated.
The FITLS utility allows arbitrary equations to be fitted to
data.
Current device drivers support XWindows, REGIS, TEK4010, all PC
graphics cards, VT100's, HP-Plotters, PostScript Printers, EPSON
Printers and LaserJet/Paintjet Printers.
GLE runs on VAX-VMS, UNIX and PC's, giving a near identical user interface
on all platforms.
For information on ftp sites for VMS or UNIX versions of GLE, or any
other questions send a mail message to:
srghcxp@grv.dsir.govt.nz

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The gle installation files are split into 4 zip files:
GLE33b_1.ZIP Core GLE, with PC - screen driver
GLE33b_2.ZIP PostScript Driver, and Expanded Memory versions
GLE33b_3.ZIP Bitmap device drivers (epson) and extra fonts.
GLE33b_4.ZIP Utilities, surface plotting, hpgl driver.
Use PKUNZIP.EXE to extract the installation kit from these
files, you don't need all four, just the ones you want to use.
(PKUNZIP.EXE is available from most ftp sites)
e.g.
FTP> ascii
FTP> get gle33b.txt ! this file
FTP> binary
FTP> get gle33b_1.zip
FTP> get gle33b_2.zip ! PostScript and expanded memory (optional)
FTP> get gle33b_3.zip ! Bitmap and extra fonts (optional)
FTP> get gle33b_4.zip ! HPGL and utilities (optional)
FTP> exit
C:\> mkdir tmp ! Make temp dir for installation files
C:\> cd tmp
C:\TMP> pkunzip ..\gle33b_*.zip ! create installation files
C:\TMP> del gle33b_*.zip ! delete uploaded files to save space
(You MUST copy PKUNZIP.EXE to the same directory so
that INSTALL.EXE can find it)
C:\TMP> copy \zip\pkunzip.exe ! change \zip\ to where you keep pkunzip.exe
(These files could now be copied to floppies for installation
on other PC's)
C:\TMP> install
(and answer idiot-proof questions!)
Please try and distribute GLE within your
area to avoid multiple transfers.
