[Kst] KST bug

[Karl Meredith]

I am new to using KST.  I noticed that there is a problem when reading
in ascii data.  If the data is written in scientific notation with a
capital E (ie. 1E-2) then kst cannot read it.  If it comes from stdin
with a capital E, then kst reads it just fine.  Here's an example.
I have three data files that should all result in the same plot.

==> test1.dat <==
1 0.1
2 0.3
3 0.2

==> test2.dat <==
1 1e-1
2 3e-1
3 2e-1

==> test3.dat <==
1 1E-1
2 3E-1
3 2E-1

Typing 
>> kst -x 1 -y 2 test1.dat
works just fine.  The plot comes up and looks good.

Typing 
>> kst -x 1 -y 2 test2.dat
still works just fine.  

Typing 
>> kst -x 1 -y 2 test3.dat
doesn't give anything and kst exits.

However, if I get test3.dat from stdin,
>> cat test3.dat|kst -x 1 -y 2 stdin
then it works just fine.

I am working with some FORTRAN programs that output in the capital E
scientific notation format.  

Also, on a side note, kst doesn't seem to plot the last data point in
the file.

Any fixes or help that you could provide on these issues would be
greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Karl
