Re: metafile problems in Win32 Ferret

[Ansley Manke <ansley.b.manke@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Amy,
Do you see a plot window?  If you do a simple line plot, without reading 
any external data, what happens

  > ferret

  yes? set mode meta
   yes? go ptest 
   yes? quit

When you issue the "set mode meta" command, a plot window should pop up 
on your screen, and you'll also get a metafile.  If the plot window does 
not come up, then the x-server software is not starting up correctly.
