Re: XWin-Plot versus "plot"

Dear all,

Importing plots into a papers sometimes is not intuitively
obvious, especially if "paper" means using Microsoft
oriented software.

Windows is not very stable with PS/EPS figures, although
there is some software to work around.

The simple and easy solution would be to add more
formats under "Printer Setup" option. Particularly,
adding export capabilities for:

WMF (windows meta file)
PICT (for Macintosh)
RTF (quite useful very often)
PDF (universal, supplementary for papers, etc.)

This could satisfy a broad range of users and eliminate
Windows-Linux war.

best regards,
Valentin.
