I received enough mail replys to want to encourage that acquiring the
fortran sources for MATLAB may be of interest people other than myself,
hence this posting.

Someone (at colo state, sorry but I've lost your name) said that the
sources are ftp'able from unmvax.unm.edu.  (129.24.12.128).  I tried
this, but uncompress choked on the file MATLAB.tar.Z only about 25Kbytes
into the job (out of 440Kbytes).  Examing the first bit of what came out
looks a bit discouraging in that I saw some VAX assembler, stuff that appears
to be difficult to port.  But maybe there are some conditional things for
different machines.

Since I'm not an uncompress guru, is there something I should be aware of
that might explain what's going wrong?

Secondly, is there someone who knows more about this particular piece
of code.  Esp. as to whether it is really public domain, and its general
pedigree?

As I said in an earlier posting, what I'm looking for is a fortran MATLAB
code to use as a platform for teaching an undergraduate course in numerical
analysis and fortran programming.  I thought having the sources to MATLAB
might provide an excellent framework for a number of class exercises and
projects.
