Yes, Mathematica Version 1.2 is shipping for SGI machines. You can buy it either from Silicon Graphics or from WRI ((217)-398-0700). > >On a related note: > >Is it likely to be possible to get an X-windows front-end for >Mathematica to run on a Silicon Graphics 4D? This would be in >addition to the native SGI front-end. Yes, Mathematica runs under X-windows. I believe X-windows itself is an extra cost product from SGI, but I could be wrong. In any case your sales rep will probably be more informed about that than I. >I intend to do a lot of work from a remote X-windows terminal, and >don't want to be limited to the raw ascii Mathematica interface when I >am away from the console.... >-- >John D.
