On a 32-bit Linux system results are not (quite) so good. I note the problems above, plus python Missing examples : Differing postscript output : Missing stdout : Differing stdout : 23 tcl Missing examples : Differing postscript output : 03 14a 17 21 Missing stdout : Differing stdout : 21 For python $ diff x23c_psc.txt x23p_psc.txt 1c1 < For example 23 prior to page 12 the FCI is 0x80000000 --- > For example 23 prior to page 12 the FCI is 0x80000000L This is with python 2.5.2. I imagine this is because the FCI constant is a long rather than standard integer on a 32-bit system since python does not have unsigned int. Or it may be a python version thing? For tcl the differences with 03 and 14a are just a single line where an integer differs by one. I put this down to rounding error. This is with tcl8.4. Example 21 requires tcl 8.5. Example 17 I see large differences, but again often only rounding errors. This is hard to compare because a small error can lead to the axes rescaling at a different time which produces large differences in the postscript output. Visually the final results looks good.
