Also, I looked at the "test" plots for x11. I don't see any dashed
lines there.
I sent the list a note and I've isolated the dates for which the X11
terminal test is failing.

I've figured out how to activate the X11 dashed lines, which I'll
explain. How to set this up for users when they install could be
challenging.
gnuplot utilizes the standard X11 defined settings interface. This is
explained in gnuplot under
gnuplot> help set term x11 line_resources
Basically, one puts the definitions for the dash patterns inside a local
.Xdefaults file. For example
! gnuplot settings
gnuplot*dashed: on
gnuplot*borderDashes: 0
gnuplot*axisDashes: 16
gnuplot*line1Dashes: 0
gnuplot*line2Dashes: 42
gnuplot*line3Dashes: 13
gnuplot*line4Dashes: 44
gnuplot*line5Dashes: 15
gnuplot*line6Dashes: 4441
gnuplot*line7Dashes: 42
gnuplot*line8Dashes: 13
and then at the shell command line type
shell> xrdb -merge .Xdefaults
I've put the above command in my shell script resource file. (Try xrdb
-query if you run into problems.)
