>> Thanks! >> Brian The current status is we have considered the possibility of binary releases for windows, but haven't implemented it yet. It might be quite some time before we do this since there are quite a few extra considerations (e.g., which Windows platforms to cover) for doing a binary release. Therefore, for the indefinite future Brian must do a PLplot build on Windows to get access to PLplot for Ada. Werner and Arjen have been working hard to insure that the PLplot build is a reasonably smooth experience on the various Windows platforms with everything documented in http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/index.php?title=Building_PLplot and further links to build specifics found there. Werner has tested Ada for MinGW/MSYS on Windows in the past, and all seemed to be well. So tell Brian to follow the build documentation for MinGW/MSYS on Windows to get access to PLplot from Ada. If there is anything he doesn't understand in our documentation, he should post his specific questions to this list. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
