Hello Petr Mikulik
Thank you for all efforts to the gnuplot Win32 binaries.
I have checked your binary packages. I found that a trivial mistake in
gp43-Nov21_2008-winbin.zip and
also found a it in gp43-Nov21_2008-winbinX11.zip
In gp-Nov21_2008-winbin.zip
C:\Program Files\gp43-Nov21_2008-winbin\gnuplot\binaries>dir wgnuplot?pipes.exe
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 28D6-BD9D
Directory of C:\Program Files\gp43-Nov21_2008-winbin\gnuplot\binaries
2008/06/03 22:36 1,961,472 wgnuplot-pipes.exe
2008/11/21 21:00 1,980,416 wgnuplot_pipes.exe
2 File(s) 3,941,888 bytes
0 Dir(s) 26,288,074,752 bytes free
The file
2008/06/03 22:36 1,961,472 wgnuplot-pipes.exe
seem to be a gabage.
In gp-Nov21_2008-winbinx11.zip
In usr/local/libexec/gnuplot and usr/local/share/gnuplot
4.2 and 4.3 folder co-exist.
Perhaps 4.2 folders are gabgages.
These are not serious problem for execution but waste of the disk space.
I think that it is OK that they will be removed at the next release.
Regards
Tatsuro
