Re: names of gnuplot Win32 binaries

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello Petr Mikulik

Thank you for all efforts to the gnuplot Win32 binaries.

I have checked your binary packages.  I found that a trivial mistake in 
gp43-Nov21_2008-winbin.zip and
also found a it in  gp43-Nov21_2008-winbinX11.zip 

In gp-Nov21_2008-winbin.zip

C:\Program Files\gp43-Nov21_2008-winbin\gnuplot\binaries>dir wgnuplot?pipes.exe
 Volume in drive C has no label.
 Volume Serial Number is 28D6-BD9D

 Directory of C:\Program Files\gp43-Nov21_2008-winbin\gnuplot\binaries

2008/11/21  21:00         1,980,416 wgnuplot_pipes.exe
               2 File(s)      3,941,888 bytes
               0 Dir(s)  26,288,074,752 bytes free

The file
2008/06/03  22:36         1,961,472 wgnuplot-pipes.exe
seem to be a gabage.


In gp-Nov21_2008-winbinx11.zip

In usr/local/libexec/gnuplot and usr/local/share/gnuplot
4.2 and 4.3 folder co-exist.

Perhaps 4.2 folders are gabgages.

These are not serious problem for execution but waste of the disk space.

I think that it is OK that they will be removed at the next release.

Regards

Tatsuro
