+ Release of GPLOT (4.3b2) -- Oct. 30, 1991
+
+This is the official release of GPLOT 4.3b2 available through anonymous
+ftp from ftp.psc.edu:/pub/gplot. This is a small bug fix version, and
+differs slightly from gplot 4.3b1.
+
+This release also includes the 3.3 release of CGMGen and DrawCGM software.
+To get the release information for DRAWCGM, please take a look at the file
+README.DRAWCGM.
+
+If you are interested in getting the HDF driver for GPLOT, please get
+the file README.HDF and hdfdev.tar.Z.
+
+The files necessary to create GPLOT are available in two forms.
+
+(1) If you are on a Unix system, FTP the file gplot.tar (using binary
+ format), move it into its own directory (gplot), and un-tar it
+ using the command 'tar xf gplot.tar'.
+
+ The Makefile contains a complete Unix makefile. You will need to modify
+ the Makefile to include a workstation driver of your choice according to
+ the included directions and use it to make gplot and drawcgm. Please
+ read the instructions before making any changes to the Makefile.
+
+ A note about the two X window drivers : xl and xws
+ ---------------------------------------------------
+ xl works great with simple cgm files, and is fast, but does not have
+ colormaps installed.
+ xws has colormaps and good dithering techniques. So it can be used for
+ cell array cgm files, but the rendering process can be slow.
+
+ The interfaces "gplotdw", "gplotaw" and "gplotm" use xl by default.
+ If you wish to change that to use xws, you will need to edit the
+ Makefile appropriately.
+
+
+(2) If you are on a VMS system, copy all the files in the 'src' directory,
+ and use the descrip.mms file (if you are running MMS) or use the file
+ MAKEGPLOT.COM to construct GPLOT.
+
+
+When you take a copy of GPLOT, please send mail to Anjana Kar (kar@a.psc.edu)
+so we can add you to our mailing list. Bug reports should be sent to Anjana
+at that address.
