## NON-UNIX SYSTEMS

Ploticus was developed on Solaris, a unix system, and is used without modification on Linux and other modern unix systems.`` Ploticus has also been successfully used on Windows/NT systems that are running a unix emulation environment such as Cygwin, but there are sometimes problems that arise with getting this to work.``

For version 2.00 I have tried to make the code more portable, however the amount of assistance I can currently give for these environments is very limited.`` Please let me know if there are other issues I have overlooked here.``

Here are some version 2.00 notes for users on Windows/NT systems:

- No external unix shell commands are automatically issued as long as you use proc getdata `pathname` instead of `filename`.``
- The default temp file directory is `/tmp`, and the default slash for building file names is `/`. This may be changed in `pl.h` before compilation, or by setting `tmpdir` and `pathslash` in a config file .``
- The -DNOX11 compile flag may be used to eliminate X11 references from the product.``
