Thanks to all the developers for such a quick response. I am really a very happy user of plplot and use it in all my scientific work. Additionally, and this is somewhat off-topic, I package plplot for openSUSE as I previously mentioned. I would be happy to be of some help, for instance, if the developers would want me to test out weekly builds, and those just prior to release, on openSUSE. Is there information somewhere about how I could perhaps contribute toward testing builds and releases or in any other possible way (I really don't know a lot about code though)?
Thanks again for all the help (and the excellent application of course), and bye. On Tue, 2011-08-02 at 19:44 -0700, Alan W.
