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:
