Assuming you are referring to sections of PLplot code that are #defined around so they are never actually used any more, I think the answer must be yes. Those with detailed knowledge of some section of PLplot source code with unused code sections they _know_ will never be used again should be encouraged to remove them (with a specific commit message so that it is clear exactly what is being removed). Such on-going code cleanup makes it much easier to read and figure out the remaining PLplot logic. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
