Its unfortunate that the first impression one might get about ggobi is
that it is very buggy.  In fact, we have not officially released
ggobi. We are very happy to have people test it and provide bug
reports and comments.  So the source is available from
www.ggobi.org. That windows binary is a month old and has been linked
from Nicholas' site for the convenience of people testing ggobi on
Windows. However, it is a stop-gap until I get to release the Windows
binary that is synchronized with the Unix version. Perhaps that will
happen this week.

For the moment, one can send messages to the mailing list at
 ggobi-help at franz.stat.wisc.edu

There is a speed problem on Windows that we know about:

 Under *nix, it makes little or no time difference whether I call
 gdk_draw_point or segment N times, or whether I call
 gdk_draw_points or segments once with N points.

 Under Win32, however, the batched calls seem to be about 20 times
 faster.

 This would not be a problem except that gdk contains these batched
 calls only for points and lines, so I'll eventually need to write
 them (or find a recruit to write them) for arcs and rectangles.

I also get an error message when I send messages to 
the one below...it invariably says host unknown...  :(

Thanks for any help,
Mark Hall
