Re: octave-forge, grace, and fink

[Joe Koski]

This doesn't answer your question, but if you have AquaTerm installed, you
can save a plotted gnuplot image as either .pdf or .eps via "Save as" in the
Aquaterm window. This eliminates the need to write the .eps file via a
replot or separate print statement.
