As written before, it is possible, but with problems. With Vista also a 
new powershell was developed also for windows xp, but I don't want to 
learn another syntax - and as you said not nearly compatible to unix 
scripts .... but super powerful with objects and classes ....

Tcl is also not commonly used in the Windows world, I think, but if jim 
is distributed with the plplot source and compiles with most of the 
compilers used, this should also be okay, I think.
