No problem; I am glad my advice helped. Now that you have Octave installed, are you able to plot with it, i.e. t=linspace(0,2*pi),y=sin(t),plot(t,y) ? This does not work for me, so I am wondering if everyone has the same problem. Thank you for your reply. Good luck. -Anthony
Hi, I'm afraid that I have the same problem as well - octave crashes when trying to plot. I've tested gnuplot independently with some simple examples and it works fine... Calum. Calum.
