Gnuplot 3.5 is still housed at Dartmouth, but the Gnuplot 3.6 BETA releases are housed at The Condensed Matter Physics group at the University of Southampton. This is mirrored at http://science.nas.nasa.gov/~woo/gnuplot/gnuplot.html which will take a while to load from Europe. You may also be interested in gd, a GIF library Gnuplot can use, and zlib and libpng from ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/png/.
