Re: Octave.app for MacOSX released

[Norm Hecht]

Thanks for working up the 2.9.12 binary.  I just loaded it, and it  
worked
right out of the box, except for the plotting:  plot(x, y) gives this:

Brings back memories from the good old days...

Editing the octaverc file in <octave home>/Contents/Resources/share/ 
octave/site/m/startup
to use the old "__gnuplot_set__ terminal aqua 0 fname 'Trebuchet MS'"  
from my
2.1.73 version didn't change the situation.

Any hints or suggestions on how to get Aquaterm & gnuplot cooperating  
with
Octave?

Thanks!

Norm
