I think your colleague runs on LIXUX machines and programs
accordingly. :-)

Windows can certainly accept a DEVICE, RETAIN=0 command, so
I don't know why that should fail. Still smacks of PostScript
to me. DEVICE, TRUE_COLOR=xxx is going to fail on Windows,
since that is not how you set up a True-Color device on Windows.
And, anyway, as you can see, you already ARE a 24-bit device,
so the command is unnecessary.

There isn't a SET_PLOT, 'X' somewhere in the code, is there?

I really don't know. Strange errors. :-)

Cheers,

David
