You misunderstood me here. The batch file creates a plplot dll and installs everything into one directory. Then you zip it as you want it. In that way we have a easy way for us developers to create such a binary distribution. If you do without a batch file, you need to do a lot of steps over and over again for every new release and you'll be the only one who can do the binary release. It may not be clear, what libraries you included etc. With a batch file this is all "standardized". Regards, Werner > > However these two approaches are not mutually exclusive.
