               *** You need Borland C++ or Visual C++! ***

The installation is made on a "Command Prompt".
Unix like commands (gzip, patch and tar) are also needed, so you must
install them in a directory on your path.

*Note* Distribution of GNUPLOT that has been applied this patch to
       (especially binaries) has to be very carefully done.

       See "Copyright" in the original GNUPLOT source package.

(Quotations from "Copyright")
   1. distribute the corresponding source modifications from the
    released version in the form of a patch file along with the binaries,
   2. add special version identification to distinguish your version
    in addition to the base release version number,
   3. provide your name and address as the primary contact for the
    support of your modified version, and
   4. retain our contact information in regard to use of the base
    software.
