Doing so finds several required DLL's but also reports
cygcheck: track_down: could not find cyglua-5.1.dll
which is interesting because running the command
lua
enters an interactive mode (unlike gnuplot), which suggests that 'lua'
might be working.
If cyglua-5.1.dll is part of the normal 64-bit CYGWIN download then
1) I don't understand why it wasn't downloaded and installed
automatically when I updated, and
2) I'm not sure what package(s) I would have to manually (re)install in
order to get the 64-bit version, and
3) it may or may not fix the gnuplot startup problem.
I might add that running 'cygcheck gnuplot' from my 32-bit CYGWIN
installation finds cyglua-5.1.dll in C:\win32app\cygwin\bin\cyglua-
5.1.dll. Of course this version does not work with 64-bit gnuplot.

Ken's message in my e-mail box to reply to.)
