Alan, Thanks for this. Once my example 22 changes are finished I intend doing some testing too on my Ubuntu system (and hopefully on Debian unstable). I agree we're still on track for 14th December release.
See comments below about example 22 progress. Andrew On Thu, Nov 28, 2013 at 10:56:10PM -0800, Alan W.

The difference is because f95 version of plshades does not support the rect argument. Once that is done (Arjen?) it is a one line fix. > tcl > Missing examples : > Differing postscript output : 22 > Missing stdout : > Differing stdout : > ada > Missing examples : > Differing postscript output : 22 > Missing stdout : > Differing stdout : > adathick > Missing examples : > Differing postscript output : 22 > Missing stdout : > Differing stdout : > ocaml > Missing examples : > Differing postscript output : 16 22 33 > Missing stdout : > Differing stdout : > > I expect those differences will be substantially reduced or even > eliminated in the next few days if everyone cooperates for their > favorite language(s) that still have remaining propagation issues. > The remaining languages need updating. I will look at tcl next. I am assuming Hez will take on the ocaml changes along with the changes to examples 16 and 33. If someone is able to look at ada that would be great, otherwise I'll try and get round to it, but my ada knowledge is pretty hazy.
