Just a point of information. I obtained a port of MATLAB from
somewhere on the net about 3 months ago. It's a good implementation of
the basic matrix operations of the original MATLAB. It does not
include the graphics and some of the special analysis tools included
with the marketed versions. I believe the core of MATLAB software is
"freeware" from an american university whose name escapes me at the
moment.
