I'm not positive, but I don't think gnuplot can parse the multiplier in 
question.

Instead, you'll need to use the Basic option in gnucap, to force 
scientific notation output.  See section 1.5 of the user manual.

It may even be the case that if you use the ">" redirect for print 
output, it defaults to the Basic style output, but I'm not sure of this 
offhand.
