Re: problems getting octave to plot on Mac? Maybe I have solution....

On my eMac (1.42 GHz PowerPC G4)  with OSX 10.4.9) I have installed:
GNU Octave, version 2.1.71 (powerpc-apple-darwin8.1.0).
G N U P L O T Version 4.0 patchlevel 0
AquaTerm v1.0 (1.0)

If AquaTerm v1.0 (1.0) is the same as 1.0.1 as per below then I would not
understand the statement that Gnuplot 4.0.0 is expecting Aquaterm 1.0.0 and
won't work with 1.0.1. Has been and is working fine here since I installed
GNU Octave, version 2.1.71. True it is not an Intel Mac Mini and I don't
know if that would make a difference.
