Has anyone out there had any success with GNUPLOT output to an Apple LaserWriter. I've tried setting terminal to postscript and output to COM2 (my LaserWriter is connected to my IBM-PC this way) but I've had no luck whatsoever (not even a flashing amber light!). I've used mode com2:9600,n,8,2,p and mode com2:9600,n,8,1,p and mode com2:9600,n,8 and I've also tried resetting the LaserWriter Plus to use DTR flow control via: serverdict begin 0 exitserver statusdict begin 25 9600 4 setsccbatch end as well as using the default settings for the 9600 position on the server mode switch. Does anyone have any ideas. Thanks.

I am not sure this will help, not knowing your system configuration but I have been using gnuplot with an apple laserwriter on a Vax 11/780 running 4.2 with the adobe postscript software. All it takes in this configuration is to invoke gnuplot with the command line: gnuplot > foo.plot when gnuplot comes up set the terminal to unixplot and gnuplot will output plot(5) primatives through standard out to the file foo.plot at the close of the session a line like psplot foo.plot seems to work correctly. I hope this helps. Good Luck! Bill Wood (!usceast!tech)
