I have been using for a while a later version (01/10/84) of Matlab than the one recently posted. This version is supposedly substantially faster. Since I ported it to the Amiga, I've never had any problems with it, and I've been using it a lot. I've thought about sending it to comp.{sources,binaries}.amiga but hesitate since it's pretty big and am not sure on the demand for it. If I get enough email I will end up sending it. If interested, also indicate if you would prefer a version compiled for 68020/68881. -- -+= SAM =+- "the best things in life are free" ARPA: paolucci@snll-arpagw.llnl.gov
