Software Recommendation Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I have spent a good bit of time working my favorite search engine over looking for software for steam tables, air tables, and other thermodynamics related software. Everything that comes up is for win95, NT, or mac. I cannot believe that there is _no_ unix scientific software available. Even a few of the big Universities that I checked have nothing save the software they provide only on shared resources. I hope that someone out there has already found what I am looking for. Could you please recommend a software package for steam tables, mollier diagrams and the like? While I am asking, what other useful programs can you recommend that a budding engineer should not be without? Thank you, Jason Wells
