Mathematica on the IRIS provides only a command line interface. There is no support for the editing of notebooks; unlike "other platforms" such as the NeXT and the Mac. Remote users of Mathematica have access only to the Postscript graphics. The shaded-graphics of the GL cannot be used remotely. Mathematica on the IRIS is _adequate_. -- -- Jeff Hultquist hultquis@nas.nasa.gov NASA - Ames Research Center (415) 604-4970 Disclaimer: "I am not a rocket scientist."
