Arjen: Thanks a lot. I do not know with what program to use to run "make 
install". Can you explain it? Also, on what directory do I run "make install". 
There in my case, an original un-zipped directory tree, c:plplot/ from which 
the second c:/build-plplot directory is created. This directory was correctly 
created and contains in, c:\build-plplot\examples\c\Debug\, the x01c.exe 
through x34c.exe files which will execute. Then, there is a third directory, my 
example directory for separate compilation, c:\plplot-Inverarity3d\, which has 
the code and its separate build file which cmake creates, c:\build-Inver\ etc. 
which contains the debug directory. I do not know where is the "make install" 
command or on exactly what tree it should be operated on. Also, is it possible 
to ask through a combination of Cmake and the makefile, to have the executable 
use the working directory of the executable file, or the current directory etc. 
so that the *.dll files could be
 put in one directory with the executable files; without reinstalling. I would 
like to have another file call the PLPLOT executable code in a file folder 
somewhere else; this would help with installation elsewhere.
