- Hello all,
-
- I recently got version 3.1 of GNUplot by FTP (yeah... I know there's
- a 3.2 version, still looking for it...). I downloaded it and uncompressed
- it without a hitch on my A2000 (2.04, GVP SeriesII HC with a 50 Meg disk
- and 2 MB RAM). After running gnuinit (thus setting the GNUENV variables to
- reasonable values... like 640x400 screen), I run GNUplot. The program will
- not guru right away, but will usually wait until I "load" a demo or try to
- use the online help. When I "plot sin(x)," I get a nice plot and an immediate
- exit to the terminal, but the program will guru soon after that, depending
- on what I do. Is this version *really* that unstable? Even when I don't
- have funny PD things running in the background, GNU-plot is unstable to the
- point of being worthless. Booting under 1.3 (MultiStart board) doesn't help.
- Is this a problem with the so-called "amiga" term that's included with the
- package?
-
- Has anybody out there had this experience with GNUplot?
