2009-05-05 Thread Alan W. Irwin
Hi Arjen: To my knowledge, the work you did to get qsastime_testlib to build on Windows never gave useful test results because of limitations in the Windows C library time routines (e.g., no valid time results before 1970). I do appreciate the work you put into this; it was the only way we could d

[Plplot-devel] Macro namespace issues

2009-05-05 Thread Andrew Ross
