The Amiga port of Matlab was done by Jim Locker (who has been seen around
on this net). At least his name is in the readme file that comes with the
package I downloaded.

Now, there has been some discussion about Matlab, and I am wondering if I
should send it to the comp.binaries.amiga group (I don't have the source code)
But since it looks to me like Jim Locker's baby, I don't want to step on any
toes. So... Jim, if you are out there, how about sending it off to 
comp.binaries/sources.amiga? It's an interesting package and with the number
of students here on the net it will come in handy.

I will wait a month and if I don't see it, or hear anything telling me not
to post it, I will send it off. [It's BIG!]
