I must agree as I would never allow either one under my roof, let  
alone on my Mac.

I have a copy in bin, presumably from Gnuplot-4.0.0.dmg. I also have  
a folder on my desktop, called gnuplot-4.2.3, which I downloaded  
yesterday. Presumably, I should remove 4.0.0 from bin but I don't  
know what to do with 4.2.3.

By then I will be in Hell or somewhere but certainly not in  
Philadelphia.

I truly have no idea what you are talking about but it sounds like  
fun. I will ask my grandsons.
