I neglect the standard items (math packages) and the ones that are not mechanical (spice) in nature. I was thinking of CAD/CAM/FEA packages when I wrote my reply. Except for matrices, I have yet to figure out SciLab. Somehow it will simulate systems. NASA does not make it's code available on the net according to their FAQ. There is a cool CD a cdrom.com for NASA stuff. Most of the titles on that disc are _way_ specific or mention some area of interest I have never even heard of. I am no hacker. Not everyone is. So porting most apps is out of the question for me, epsecially DOS apps. 16 bit issues. Curses issues. Uggh.
