A while back someone mentioned that they were converting PlPlot to work 
with Aztec C; a very brief summary of the things needing changing was 
posted.  Did the final program (or diffs) ever get posted?  I tried 
modifying the source using the summary of changes; I got it more or less
working, but there were frequent gurus and I haven't had the time to hunt
down the bugs.

The documentation mentions that PlPlot is rewritten in C from Fortran
originals (for the PC?).  I use a 386-PC at the office, so I would appreciate
if somebody would direct me to the Fortran source as well.

E-mail is fine; I can summarize to the net if there is enough interest.
