This is gnuplot version 4.6.0 --  binary distribution for MS-Windows 32bit
				   with Cygwin and X-server
=============================================================================

Ignore this package if you don't know what X11, X-server and Cygwin means.

In short, it contains unixish-like gnuplot executable for command line and
with X11 terminal -- that's what you search for if you need multiple
interactive graph windows.
For example, "set term x11" allows you to use the figure(n)

This distribution was obtained by the unixish way of compilation under
Cygwin:
	bash
	CC='gcc -shared-libgcc' \
	CXX='g++ -shared-libgcc' \
	CFLAGS='-O3 -fomit-frame-pointer' \
	CXXFLAGS='-O3 -fomit-frame-pointer' \
	./configure  --with-readline=bsd
	make
	make install-strip


Binaries included:
------------------

* gnuplot.exe: The gnuplot executable for Windows with x11 terminal.


Installation
------------

* Unzip this package into Cygwin directory, e.g. C:\cygwin.
  Then, you should find gnuplot.exe in Cygwin's /usr/local/bin directory,
  and similarly for other files.

* Copy the x11 resource file 'Gnuplot' to /etc/defaults/etc/X11/app-defaults
  directory. The file 'Gnuplot' is located at 
  /usr/local/share/gnuplot/4.6/app-defaults

* See 'help start', 'help environment' etc. for setting up your environment,
  if not already done for the usual gnuplot for Windows.

* No additional documentation is included. Please use the usual gnuplot 4.6
  Windows binary distribution package which contains complete set of
  README's, INSTALL's, demo/, docs/, etc.

* From version 4.4, the NetBSD editline library is used instead of the
  GNU readline to avoid the possibility of violation of the GPL licence of 
  the GNU readline.

* Run X-server, for example
    - Cygwin-X11 (free, www.cygwin.com/xfree/) -- command "startxdmcp.bat"
    - Any other free X-server, like Public Domain Releases of Xming
    - Any shareware or commercial, like Xming, eXceed, X-Win32, Astec-X,...

* Set DISPLAY environmental variable to your machine (localhost)

* Run gnuplot.exe and enjoy "set term x11" with its multiple graph windows
