CORRESPONDENCE

There is now a ploticus news group at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ploticus You can send items there or to me at steve@sgpr.net (I will forward ploticus correspondence received at steve@sgpr.net to the above news group as appropriate; if you send me an email that you do not want posted to the news group, please let me know.)

I reserve the right to use your message in the user feedback page or FAQ

BUG REPORTS

Much of the incremental improvement in this package has been due to the careful bug reports that have been sent in by attentive users. Thanks! If reporting a problem, please:
  • check the release notes first, where known bugs are listed.
  • indicate your platform and operating system.
  • indicate the version you are using (type pl -version to find out) and the exact command that you typed
  • include a self-contained ploticus script that reproduces the problem.
  • if you are using a ploticus config file include that also

COMPILATION AND PORTING PROBLEMS

Be sure you are using an ANSI-compliant C compiler such as gcc, and have looked at the Makefile and README file. I can't assist with basic software development skills.
