Hi Phil: Following your commit f40deb1 to change the names used for the plmap* arguments for C and C++ to more explanatory names, I have followed up with commit a69ef1d for doing the same with the swig-generated bindings. @Everybody: Phil's plmap* argument name changes and my corresponding changes caused no regressions (as expected) for the propagation effort whose status remains the same, i.e., the problem bindings/examples continue to be f95 Missing examples : Differing postscript output : 08 19 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : tcl Missing examples : Differing postscript output : 08 19 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : ada Missing examples : Differing postscript output : 08 19 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : adathick Missing examples : Differing postscript output : 08 19 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : ocaml Missing examples : Differing postscript output : 08 16 19 33 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : d Missing examples : Differing postscript output : 08 19 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : >From contacts I have had both on and off list, I am glad to report Arjen has promised to deal with Fortran and Tcl (eventually, after our current collaboration to upgrade the Fortran bindings in general is completed), Jerry has promised to deal with Ada, and Andrew has promised to deal with D for this forthcoming release. Assuming you all come through, that should only leave OCaml as a concern for this forthcoming release. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
