2.2.3 Windows/Cygwin

Femlisp works on Windows using Allegro CL. Simply start up Allegro and load the file femlisp/start.lisp from the Femlisp directory. For graphics output, you need Gnuplot which you can get via Cygwin, and OpenDX which you can download from http://www.opendx.org.

A known bug (maybe within OpenDX or Cygwin/X, since also dx -script in an xterm window did not work for me) is that the communication with OpenDX does not yet work. A remedy is to use OpenDX as a separate application on the output file femlisp/images/output.dx.
