Frank Shipman here at the Univ. Colorado was involved in developing such
a package for the Baylor College of Medicine. I don't know about its
distribution status, but you get more info from him at shipman@cs.colorado.edu
It is called the Virtual Notebook System.

Incidentally, we are here in the first stages of developing a notebook
system for NOAA climatologists interacting with a very large dataset. 
We hope to have it run on Macs, PCs, and X. 

There seem to be a number of folks doing this sort of work - it would 
be nice to get together a mailing list or an alt.electronic-notebooks 
group. If people who are interested, email me, and I'll compile at
least a mailing list. That way, maybe we won't all reinvent the wheel
over and over.
