Thanks. That will be useful

With your permission, may I correct you here. I downloaded the gnuplot 3.5
(pre 3.6) about a year ago and it came with a makefile called "makedj" 
IIRC for djgpp v2.01!  I didn't have to do anything more than type makedj.
While I am sure that integrating the sources to use the Allegro Library is
an extremely commendable acheivement, I do have a version that compiled
smoothly with djgpp v 2.01. Since I deleted the sources and retained only
the binaries I cannot tell you the location now. 

With warmest regards
Gurunandan
