I've seen ads in the Linux Journal for both Matlab and Mathematica running
on Linux...  Anybody try running the Linux binaries on FreeBSD?  I may
go ahead and upgrade my MS Windows versions of both Mathematica and Matlab
to the Linux version (for use with FreeBSD of course!) if that works....
(Hmmm, if that works, and I can find some decent OCR software, I might
not ever need DOS again...  Ah, hell, I'm addicted, I'll never give up
DOS - just like I can't give up old Chevys!)  ;-) ;-) ;-)

Hmm, I wonder if _everything_ I say is a "non-record"...?

FreeBSD and Apache - the best real tools for the virtual world!
Check out www.freebsd.org and www.apache.org...

Just say NO to Netscape Navigator!
