In an article which has expired at my site, someone asked about getting PlPlot to work under Aztec. I've done it and will be sending my support files (Makefile, change file, and uuencoded library) to comp.sources.amiga. For those who can't wait, a summary of the changes I made: In Aztec.c: Don't include <dos.h> if AZTEC_C defined. Make IntuitionBase and GfxBase declarations if AZTEC_C defined (i.e., no "extern" keyword). Added a memset function to the end, though I think Aztec has a setmem() function so a #define of this could be added to plplot.h. Include files: I created a stdlib.h file for Manx a while ago, but for plplot all it needs is the single declaration "void *malloc();" I also added the min and max macros to the end of Manx's math.h file. #define min(a,b) ((a) < (b) ? (a) : (b)) #define max(a,b) ((a) > (b) ? (a) : (b)) Compiling: You'll need to use the +D (large data) switch due to the size of the font files, +L (32-bit ints) because of some pointer-int conversions, and either +FI or +F8 (IEEE math with either software or a 68881) because the plots don't turn out right with FFP math. This is roundoff error: FFP is always single precision; even if the variable is declared double, the lower 32-bits are all zeros. -- Stephen Walton, Dept. of Physics & Astronomy, Cal State Univ.

I too have had a version of PlPlot working with Manx's compiler as well as
Lattice. In addition, I have added a PostScript driver. Perhaps we should
merge changes before inundating Bob with many versions of the library.
What do you say? By the way, I also have a list of enhancements that I
was going to add as time permitted. Perhaps with cooperation some of these
could be done much more expediently.
