A note to former Gnutex users, from David Kotz (David.Kotz@Dartmouth.edu).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

May 30, 1991

GNUTeX was merged with GNUPLOT beginning with GNUPLOT 2.0. Many

aspects of gnutex 1.6 made it into GNUPLOT 2.0. Unfortunately for

those of us who have a lot of gnutex input files around, not

everything from gnutex is supported by GNUPLOT. To help gnutex users

with the process of adapting to GNUPLOT (and I recommend it), I have

included a section in the LaTeX/GNUPLOT tutorial (in ./docs/latextut/)

about the differences, and written a translator program. Please read

the LaTeX/GNUPLOT tutorial.

The translator was available as part of the GNUPLOT 2.0 release, but

has been removed from the standard distribution of GNUPLOT. The

translator is now available for anonymous ftp from cs.duke.edu as

dist/sources/gnuplot/gnut2p.tar.Z. It has not changed since GNUPLOT

2.01 (ie, GNUPLOT 2.0 patchlevel 1).

Users of gnutex that did not use the LaTeX driver will probably have

little difficulty adapting.

Please send all comments, complaints, and suggestions on this subject

to David.Kotz@Dartmouth.edu.
