- I have a dj500c. When I go to print and go thru the setup options on the
- pmgnuplot it closes all of my windows and dies. It prints fine if I just tell
- it to print with the default printer.
-
- If I install a postscript driver(I was hoping to postscript->file so I could
- put the picture in a document) and then try to print I get this continuous
- beeping sound untill I close the window.
-
- I think the port is great. I hope to use it more. However, I would like to
- be able to save the picture and put it in a document. Is there any hope of
- a windows metafile, CGM file, other vector file being added to it for output?
- It would make a great publication tool to go with AmiPro, etc.
-
- (I don't mean to sound unappreciative, I understand the work that goes into
- these things. The above are only suggestions and comments.)

- Thanks,
