The binary was made on window XP but it runs correctly on my netbook OS of 
which is windows 7.  In
gnuplot_drawnow.m, windows terminal is set as default.

Does gnuplot work by itself? For fltk graphics_toolkit, dll file seems to be 
loaded dynamically.
Is the below the help for you ?

Anyway I appreciate you to try my binary.
