The likelihood is that the data is in the .csv file, the instructions
that gnuplot use to generate the plot are in the .gp file, and that
the .png and .eps files are output from gnuplot. But that's an
educated guess, not definitely true.
Information about how to actually open the .gp file using gnuplot will
vary depending on what operating system you are using - on Linux I'd
try, in a terminal window, entering the command "gnuplot FILE.gp" -
where FILE is the name of the .gp file. Oh, and make sure you have a
safe copy of the .png and .eps files in some other folder/directory,
so you don't lose anything - you say this is an important plot...!
Cheers
