I'm running cygwin64 on a Windows 10 platform .
None of my 5 existing, well established, gnuplot 4.6 scripts run under
gnuplot-base 5.4 which I just installed.
Let's start with:
This fragment works as I intended under gnuplot 4.6. It reads the first line
of a file named in ARG1 and extracts the first field.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
inputfile = ARG1
starttime = system("head -c 37 " . inputfile . "| awk '{print $1}' " )
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, in gnuplot-base (5.4 patchlevel 0)
The '$1' persistently translates to the second gnuplot-base command line
argument (ie: ARG2). It is not supposed to be assigned to anything as far as
I know. I have a work around but this appears to be a very severe bug.
This is only the first error I'm working through. I'm actually working on
restoring gnuplot 4.6.
