This file is not part of the official gnuplot distribution. This ZIP file contains two gnuplot EXEs. 1. gnuplot.exe This is the standard 8086 EXE compiled with Borland C++ 3.1. 2. gnuplotx.exe This is a 386 EXE compiled with EMX/GCC. It uses the VESA 1.4 graphics library written by Johannes Martin. To use this EXE you need a card with a VESA driver or a separate VESA TSR program that returns enough information about the available modes. Some cards with built in VESA drivers do not return enough information for the graphics library to work. Run vesatest.exe to find out which modes are available. Finally run gnuplotx.exe. The vesa driver will automatically select the 640x480 mode. To select other modes use set term vesa 261 where the number is the VESA mode number obtained from the vesatest.exe output. A MS-Windows version of gnuplot also exists in a separate ZIP file.
