Installing dislin (scientific data plotting software)

I downloaded dl-80-py.zip and after unzipping, I installed dislin, then
I added the following lines to the autoexec.bat:

SET DISLIN = c:\program files\dislin
SET PYTHONPATH = C:\program files\dislin\python

But It seems that I have not installed it properly. When I choose the
dislin or readme files from from the windows2000's start>programs>dispy,
I get an error message dialogue box with the title "readme" and message
"Open error in c:\program".  When I try to use dislin in python it
either crashes (doesn't respond and I have to end the program or gives
the same dialogue box output or just quits python. I can import the
dislin module but I can't use the plot function. And if I go to the
dislin/python folder and double-click on the sample python files there
the graphs are plotted. One more item that I want to mention is I use
windows extensions to python (win32all-148). Numerical Python
(Numeric-22.0.win32-py2.2) is the only other module installed at the
moment.

I would be most grateful if you could explain to me what is wrong and
what I could do in order to be able to use dislin or direct me to a
source that contains the answer to my problem.

Best regards,
Turhan
