I have found a problem with %pl x_max setting.
If I try to set x_max to any value above the actual data range, it uses my value quite happily But if I set x_max to a value below the actual data maximum, it ignores my supplied value and uses its own. This doesn't seem to happen with y_max where it always accepts my y_max whether above or below the actual data maximum.

3 sample plots.
(1) I don't set any x y limits
(2) y_min=40 y_max=110
(3) y_min=40 y_max=110 and x_min=7000 x_max=7500
(x_max effect is the same with or without the y_min y_max settings)

%pl has moved on since the last release so it might be simpler to wait to see if the problem a already been resolved.

Many thanks for the quick reply, Paul ! Any target date for the next release yet?

Would it be possible to give us access to a beta version of the next CW+ DLL as has been done once or twice before? I for one would be happy to test the new features and provide feedback!

Unfortunately I am not able to respond to these questions with any useful information except to note that...

Work on %pl is ongoing but intermittent. There are one or two known issues that are outstanding.

The pre-release of DLLs for testing has been suspended for the time being because potential problems of incompatibility.

Paul,

It is unfortunate that the pre-release of .dll's has been suspended.
I thought the beta releases of Ver 8.0 worked well.
I think most long term users of FTN95 know how to run multiple versions of FTN95 (I have 22 alternative versions available on my development pc going back to 5.01, some which probably no longer work)
I am sure there would be a few experienced users (not including me) that could help with testing %pl

John

Thanks John. Hopefully it won't be long before we can resume this service.
