                    ANNOUNCING PATCH 1 TO GNUPLOT 2.0


What is Gnuplot 2.0?
--------------------

Gnuplot is a command-line driven interactive function plotting utility for
UNIX, MSDOS, and VMS platforms.  The software is free.  It was originally
intended as graphical program which would allow scientists and students
to visualize mathematical functions and data.  Additions to this version 
of the software allow production of publication quality plots and data graphs.
Gnuplot supports many different types of terminals, plotters, and printers 
and is easily extensible to include new devices.  [ The "GNU" in Gnuplot
is NOT related to the Free Software Foundation, the naming is just
a coincidence (and a long story). ]


What are the changes in patch 1?
--------------------------------

New commands cd (change directory) and pwd (print working directory).

New drivers for Epson 60dpi printers, Tandy DMP-130 printer, Star
colour printer, emTeX, AT&T 6300, Tektronix 410x, X11 window system.

Bug fixes.
