A number of groups have taken their old | FORTRAN numerical processing subroutine packages and wrapped them in | python objects, which then let the scientists work with them in an | interactive environment that includes the ability to generate graphics | from them. Various forms of molecular modeling tools are the things | that stick in my mind. Now *that* sounds interesting. Combining the scientific computing power of FORTRAN with a practical GUI that shouldn't tax the system. Sounds pretty good. Can't wait till FORTRAN.NET comes out. ;-P jm -- My other computer is your windows box. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
