                    ANNOUNCING PATCH 2 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 2?
--------------------------------

The major additions in this patch are 
 - parametric functions
 - X11 Motif support
 - new bit mapped graphics routines
 - new terminal drivers 
   - vttek (VT like tektronix emulators)
   - hpljii (HP LaserJet II), now works on MS-DOS
   - kyo (Kyocera Laser Printer)
   - SCO CGI
