status (July 16, 2009) - This ONLY concerns WINDOWS users:

• have to wait for new release of Surfer (to have some fixes done therein)
  • next release coming summer/fall 2009; see ​http://www.imaginary2008.de/surfer.php
• create new Start-Menu shortcut for starting XWin in the background (prerequisite when using plot from within SINGULAR)
• update info on SINGULAR homepage:
  • regarding surfer (should then work as intended, i.e. >surfer("x^2+y2-z^2");
  • regarding plot: start XWin first using the new shortcut, then type

    plot(x2+y2-z2);

...to be done by Frank Seelisch right after new surfer release
