Heya folks, Check out the free (to educational types and scientific users) alternative to Mathematica, MuPAD: http://math-www.uni-paderborn.de/~cube/ I supplied these folks with a 2.2-RELEASE account so they could knock the bugs out of it and get all the stuff compiled so it works. Nate W. had to help out with a couple of linker questions, but it seems to work pretty well! (I say this without knowing a lot about Mathematica, but what little I tried was very cool.) Proudly the README page on the various distributions suggests our version now has fewer problems than the Linux version. :-) They give out binaries only, and ask people to register their copies. (Presumably so they can talk about how many end-users they have so that they can then request more funding to work on this.) This thing screams for a FreeBSD port, but I've been busy and I haven't had time [yet] to do it. This is just a heads-up to anyone that wants to play with it in the meantime, and if someone gets around to it before I do a port would be cool. I'm sure for someone that knows what they're doing it's a real simple job. Happy trails, Brian
