Jerry, When plplot writes any file it uses fopen to open the file first, with the "wb+" options to make the file writeable and to truncate the file if it already exists. This is the standard C way to deal with opening files so I'm surprised it doesn't work. What do the Skim people "recommend" as a way of opening files?
Are you using the ps driver or the psttf driver? The psttf driver has to do some more complicated manouvers to get a C++ stream. It first opens and truncates the file as above. It the closes the C stream and opens the file again as a C++ stream.
