There is a public domain version of MATLAB available via ftp, but it is
very old and barely does anything (no graphics, etc).  It needs about 1 Meg
of file space and requires a floating point processor.

The author of the old MATLAB went on to create a PC version of MATLAB with
all the known bells and whistles.  It also requires a co-processor.
It is produced by the Mathworks Inc, 21 Elliot Street, South Natick, MA 01760.
Their e-mail for tech support, prices, etc, is info@mathworks.com.

Folks in a university setting can get the program for $395/1 person,
$290/5 people, $200/10 people, etc.  Outside of a university, you could
pay over $1000.

I have decided not to get the program right now, because I can just use the
version on our school's computers (MacIntosh's).  Thanks to all of you who
sent me information anyhow!   ttl@cs.wisc.edu
