I hadn't heard that there was a matlab version ... my instructor had told me that matlab had discontinued Unix support after their version 3, which is kinda aged. That's what got me upset, when I heard that engineering required matlab, instead of the math department's Mathematica. > > -Doug > > Doug Wellington > doug@sun1paztcn.wr.usgs.gov > System and Network Administrator > US Geological Survey, Tucson, AZ Project Office > > According to proposed Federal guidelines, this message is a "non-record". > 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! > ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and n3lxx, both FreeBSD (301) 220-2114 | version 2.2 current -- and great FUN! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
