Hi all,

Just a quick one. Are the examples (plots and animations) available as Windows batch scripts? Some of the plots will not work unless tweaked e.g. Ex49, Ex53, animation\_Ex13 etc.

Quite a few are UNIX-based scripting, so not obvious how to make some code work on Windows batch. Trying to get to grips with the GMT modern mode working on Windows .bat.

Thanks  
Lester

There is no interest on behalf of developers to convert Unix script to batch since bash exist for Windows and is so superior to batch. Of course, you are welcome to do that conversion for your own amusement but it is a lot of extra meaningless work just to avoid using bash on Windows, in my humble opinion.
