Hi Arjen/Alan,

I will build PLplot for Git late next week as I will busy the next few days. 
Let me know once you have made all the relevant changes for me to test with the 
NAG Fortran compiler.

I am actually running a workshop in the UK called "Fortran Modernisation 
Workshop" which covers PLplot:

http://www.nag.co.uk/market/training/fortran-modernisation-workshop

I've found PLplot the best visualisation libraries for Fortran 90 which I would 
like to thank you for :-)

Best regards,
Wadud.

Hi Alan,



I made the small change I suggested and the results for Cygwin and MinGW64 look 
fine - see the attached files. The only platform I still need to test on is 
bare Windows (not as nicely packaged as the other two, unfortunately). When 
that turns out to be fine as well, I will do the commit.



Regards,



Arjen
