Hi,

Go to http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2055
The version I downloaded was gp373w32.zip

Yes the pgnuplot.exe, .gnup files are all in the same folder but it
didn't work, pgnuplot did not even create the gif. I know the .gnup
file works because I can run pgnuplot and make the gif file by going
Start-Run-"pgnuplot.exe ......gnup" but when I try to do it w/ the
script it fails.

My localhost directory is on C:\ and I gave IUSR_<MACHINENAME> r/w
rights on c: already.
