Installing dislin (scientific data plotting software)

    I am not a regular user of pythonwin.  My favorite environment is emacs
(its multi platform)  When I wrote that I had it running I was indicating
that it was running versus not -- which seemed to be the point of your
original post.  I just tested a small app and found that I have the same
issue as you -- atleast when you send the output to a window.  If you route
the plot to a file (say a png) it works fine.
    I would say that my guess is that its  not as much an issue with dislin
as much as its an issue with pythonwin.  My guess is that dislin and
pythonwin are arguing over who's in charge (both are windows apps) and
pythonwin runs python as a "sub process" (Atleast my task manager does not
show a seperate python running when pythonwin runs).  I also tried the app
in komodo and have the same results (works to a file, not to a window)
    Apologies for the confusion
Cheers
Eric

> I tried both Dennis's and Kaleb's advise, but I am afraid dislin still has
some internal problem in the readme.exe file. It wouldn't work. But Eric's
advise has worked. You can't uninstall dislin. So I just deleted the present
dislin folder (c:\program files\dislin). And reinstalled in the default
folder. But I couldn't import it into python afterwards. So don't forget to
restart your computer in order to get dislin recognised by python.

too I still can  use it with only IDLE.
