1.1     ! maekawa     1: SOME NOTES ON GNUPLOT ON THE AMIGA ...
        !             2:
        !             3:
        !             4:
        !             5: Environment Variables:
        !             6:
        !             7:    GNUHELP   Allows you to define a pathname for the gnuplot help file.  For
        !             8:              example, "setenv GNUHELP TEX:gnuplot.gih"
        !             9:
        !            10:    GNUPLOT   Your current directory is searched for the file ".gnuplot".
        !            11:              If you say "setenv GNUPLOT <Path>" (without the filename!)
        !            12:              gnuplot will look for it there.
        !            13:
        !            14:    GNUTERM   You can define a default driver with "setenv GNUTERM <driver>".
        !            15:              A good choice is "setenv GNUTERM amiga" :^)
        !            16:
        !            17:    SHELL     If you don't like "NewShell" as your shell, you can say
        !            18:              "setenv SHELL <Shell>".
        !            19:
        !            20:
        !            21: Stack Size:
        !            22:
        !            23:    A stack size of at least 25000 bytes should be used while running gnuplot.
        !            24:    If you use recursive functions, e.g. like in "bivariat.dem", you will have
        !            25:    to increase your stack size accordingly. Otherwise gnuplot will exit with
        !            26:    a run time error.
        !            27:
        !            28:
        !            29: Pipes:
        !            30:
        !            31:   As of version 3.6 gnuplot supports the use of pipes for the input of data
        !            32:   in the same manner as under Unix. See the appropriate part of the manual
        !            33:   for further details. This feature is only available if Kickstart 2.0 or
        !            34:   higher is installed on your Amiga.
        !            35:
        !            36:   To execute the examples given in the docs, you will have to use the port
        !            37:   of AT&T awk that is available on aminet-sites as ATT-awk-1_0.lha. Don't
        !            38:   use the port of gawk that has been uploaded to aminet because it is
        !            39:   severely broken. None of the examples will work with that version of awk.
        !            40:
        !            41:   The Amiga version now supports output of the online documentation through
        !            42:   external pagers. This feature is enabled if you set the environment
        !            43:   variable PAGER to a reasonable value. The pager used must be able to take
        !            44:   its input from stdin. Older versions of more supplied with Commodore's
        !            45:   workbench don't allow this and won't work. I recommend the use of
        !            46:   Less 1.6Z (available on aminet). Set your environment variable PAGER to
        !            47:   "less -[cli]" or set the variable LESS to "-[cli]" and PAGER to "less".
        !            48:
        !            49:
        !            50:
        !            51: --------------------------   SAS/C 6.1 VERSION   -----------------------------
        !            52:
        !            53:
        !            54: Default paths/directories:
        !            55:
        !            56:    Gnuplot looks for the file "gnuplot.gih" in your "S:"-directory unless you
        !            57:    specify the full pathname including the filename via "setenv GNUHELP".
        !            58:
        !            59:
        !            60:
        !            61:
        !            62: ---------------------------   AZTEC C VERSION   ------------------------------
        !            63:
        !            64: Default paths/directories:
        !            65:
        !            66:    Gnuplot looks for the "gnuplot.gih" file in "GNUPLOT:docs/gnuplot.gih" if
        !            67:    GNUHELP is not defined.   This is defined in the makefile (makefile.ami).
        !            68:
        !            69:
        !            70: Terminal Drivers:
        !            71:
        !            72:    The Aztec C version can now use the "amiga.trm" driver written by
        !            73:    Carsten Steger.  Under KS/WB 2.0, a custom screen will be used with a size
        !            74:    specified by the Prefs/Overscan program.
        !            75:
