Dear Paul,
thanks for your prompt reply.

A better course of action might be to try to revive the w11 driver
(--enable-w11 configure option) which is similar but uses Windows
functions instead of sockets. I don't know how near being finished it
is; might be worth looking at.
The most recent thread I have found on the topic suggests that this is
still not a viable option.

There's some discussion if you search the mailing lists for keywords
like w11 and pngdriver. It isn't necessary to have the XDRIVER working
for batch display functionality - you can use the PNG driver (in fact
that is probably easier) and direct rendering on Windows--or on any
other platform. See the list of PNG driver-related environment
variables in
http://grass.ibiblio.org/gdp/html_grass63/variables.html#png for some
ideas on how to control it.
If anybody has a pointer to a working example that would be great. While
the concept is clear, the practicalities are not as evident by reading
recent posts on the topic:
http://www.nabble.com/why-d.vect.thematic-won%27t-run-on-WinGRASS---d.mon-problem-td15054987.html#a15054987
Particularly, how do you tell the PNG driver where to start/stop direct
rendering to png file without d.mon?
Paul
Thanks and regards,
Luigi
