Oops, I had forgotten that some versions had a bug in recognizing
the "fillcolor variable" keyword.  Here is a slight variation that
should work also on older gnuplot versions starting from 4.4.


  barcolor(n) = strstrt(strcol(n), "0") ? 0xff0000 : 0x0000ff

  plot 'test_01sep13a.dat'  u 0:3:(barcolor(1)):xticlabel(1) \
       with boxes notitle lt rgb variable

The two colors in question are specified as 24-bit RGB colors
in hexadecimal form, pure red and pure blue in this case.
