I am using the version of Matlab that has appeared on comp.binaries.amiga very recently. It seems to work fine as long as I don't use the help command to get a list of commands. If I type "help", I get the command list. But the the next time I try to execute any function, I get the guru. Guru Meditation 00000004.0000A708. This is with no startup-sequence, on a 512K Amiga 1000, 2 disk drives. I tried disconnecting the second drive, to see if it was a memory problem. It worked, until I tried to exit at which point it crashed with Guru 81000009.265F48F1. If I don't type help, everything seems to work fine. If I type "help atan" or some such command, then everything seems to work fine. Only "help" by itself seems to cause any problems. Any ideas? -- Dan Howell <...!pyramid!comdesign!ivucsb!dan> <dan@ivucsb.UUCP> -- The Second Law of Thermodynamics: -- If you think things are a mess now, just wait!

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.
