- simple looping structures.
-
- The SURFACE utility allows hidden line surface plotting.
-
- The CONTOUR utility allows contour plots.
-
- The MANIP utility allows columns of data to be manipulated.
-
- The FITLS utility allows arbitrary equations to be fitted to
- data.

- graphics cards, VT100's, HP-Plotters, PostScript Printers, EPSON
- Printers and LaserJet/Paintjet Printers.

- The gle installation files are split into 4 zip files:
-
- GLE33b_1.ZIP Core GLE, with PC - screen driver
- GLE33b_2.ZIP PostScript Driver, and Expanded Memory versions
- GLE33b_3.ZIP Bitmap device drivers (epson) and extra fonts.
- GLE33b_4.ZIP Utilities, surface plotting, hpgl driver.
-
- Use PKUNZIP.EXE to extract the installation kit from these
- files, you don't need all four, just the ones you want to use.
-
- (PKUNZIP.EXE is available from most ftp sites)
-
- e.g.
-
- FTP> ascii
- FTP> get gle33b.txt ! this file
- FTP> binary
- FTP> get gle33b_1.zip
- FTP> get gle33b_2.zip ! PostScript and expanded memory (optional)
- FTP> get gle33b_3.zip ! Bitmap and extra fonts (optional)
- FTP> get gle33b_4.zip ! HPGL and utilities (optional)
- FTP> exit
- C:\> mkdir tmp ! Make temp dir for installation files
- C:\> cd tmp
- C:\TMP> pkunzip ..\gle33b_*.zip ! create installation files
- C:\TMP> del gle33b_*.zip ! delete uploaded files to save space
- (You MUST copy PKUNZIP.EXE to the same directory so
- that INSTALL.EXE can find it)
- C:\TMP> copy \zip\pkunzip.exe ! change \zip\ to where you keep pkunzip.exe
- (These files could now be copied to floppies for installation
- on other PC's)
- C:\TMP> install
- (and answer idiot-proof questions!)
-
- Please try and distribute GLE within your
- area to avoid multiple transfers.
