gcc version 4 (which is the first version of gcc to replace g77 with gfortran) was released on 2007-08-13 for MinGW (see http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435). It's called a "Technology Preview" which I assume means it is not mature yet. Nevertheless, for those of you with access to MinGW it might be worthwhile trying a PLplot build with it since this is the first time gfortran has been officially available for MinGW. On my Ubuntu box, gfortran nicely handles both our f77 and f97 interfaces so it should be the same for MinGW unless you run into some bug for this tech preview version.
If you do decide to build PLplot for MinGW gcc 4, please check our Ada interface as well. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
