Re: Octave fails to open pipe to pgnuplot

[robert Macy]

I installed octave (using the binary download provided) on
my Windows 98 without this problem.  

Don't know about two different files, when running octave,
I simply type plot(x) of a vector which gives me a quick
look at the vector.  

Perhaps, I have not exercised the mode where a problem
occurs?
