[comp.sys.mac.programmer] GNUplot, FSF stuff?

fry@brauer.harvard.edu (David Fry) (08/28/90)

I've talked to Tom Williams of Gnuplot, and he says that a Mac
implementation is underway.   This was some time ago, so maybe
it's near completion by now. 

You could probably write pixar!info-gnuplot@sun.com
for more information.

By the way, I don't think Gnuplot has anything to do with FSF.
I believe they have a disclaimer to that effect.

GNUplot looks like a really nice plotting package from the free software 
foundation.

Has anyone had a go at trying to compile it using Think C for the Mac?

I have had a couple of attempts, but no success as yet.

For that matter, has anyone tried to convert ANY of the FSF's programs to a 
Mac format?

I realize that FSF does not like Apple for some reason or other, but that 
should not be any reason that us users should suffer--

I am working on porting a GNU software package to THINK C. I recently
posted an inquiry on this newsgroup about UNIX compatiblity and THINK
C but I haven't received much help. A number of people wrote me and
asked that if I get any info to pass it on, so it looks like a lot
of folks are working in this vein. I looked at some mac archives on
the net as well as on CI$, but no help there either. I'm glad I'm not
the only one who feels that FSF stuff belongs on the Mac!
