I don't know how many ohters are interested, but I sure am. I am right now being forced to boot dos and run Mathematica for the Diff Eq class, and this annoys me hugely, besides cutting me off from most of my tools. I asked the Wolfram folks, they said I could chagne from the dos version to the Linux version (student versions, that is) for a nominal charge, so I am extremely interested. I've been watching all this linux stuff fly by, because I don't care to play games, but getting me away from dos, well that's another story. I am going to start learning about the linux emulation. Does the mathematica version for Linux use the zmagic or ELF libs? (I have to know how to start this mess ... I will rtfm). ========================================================================== Chuck Robey chuckr@eng.umd.edu, I run FreeBSD-current on n3lxx + Journey2 Three Accounts for the Super-users in the sky, Seven for the Operators in their halls of fame, Nine for Ordinary Users doomed to crie, One for the Illegal Cracker with his evil game In the Domains of Internet where the data lie.
