Annotation of OpenXM_contrib/gnuplot/docs/old/README.3p4, Revision 1.1

1.1     ! maekawa     1: This version of gnuplot represents the work of many people.  For a more
        !             2: complete list read the RCS log on the top of makefile.unx.  This version
        !             3: originally was centered on Jos Van Woude's probability functions,
        !             4: Don Tabor's discrete contour levels and Rob Cunningham's binary file
        !             5: IO capability.  It has grown tremendously.  Russell Lang and Maurice
        !             6: Castro added MS-Windows capability and much more.  Roger Fearick
        !             7: added OS/2 capabilility.  Alexander Lehmann and Hans-Edgar Koechling
        !             8: greatly improved Atari support. (There are also an OS-9 and PC-9801 versions
        !             9: of 3.2 and a Mac version of 3.0 and a multiple plot on a page mod
        !            10: which were not integrated into this release.)  Eric Youngdale replaced the
        !            11: explicit function hidden line removal routines with a more general
        !            12: implicit bitmap (which requires more memory).  Gershon Elber fixed
        !            13: many 3D bugs and added the "dgrid3d" option which takes allows
        !            14: scattered data to be contoured.  Ed Kubaitis reworked the X11 support.
        !            15: In addition, many more devices are now provided.  We have
        !            16: always added device drivers because we have no way to debug most of
        !            17: them and only by including them into the package we obtain feedback.
        !            18:
        !            19: In addition, we have begun a contrib subdirectory which contains
        !            20: external library, programs, and mods which help in the use of
        !            21: Gnuplot.  Many of the diffs are now out of date and will take
        !            22: some work to implement.
        !            23:
        !            24: These contributions are not in any particular order.
