Excellent, work.. I noticed a small bug in the zip-file as well. For 
some reason, even though GNUPLOT_BINARY is defined as pgnuplot in 
config.h, octave is looking for gnuplot. The setting of the variable 
gnuplot_binary in octave itself doesn't help. This worked until very 
recently and so I'm unsure why this is. The workaround is fortunately 
simple. Just go to c:\octave\gnuplot\bin and copy pgnuplot.exe to 
gnuplot.exe. Perhaps I have to do a new rebuild of octave as there is 
perhaps a file hanging around after a reconfigure that wasn't rebuilt 
correctly..

Regards
David
