I am interested in acquiring Mathematica for my 4D system and
need information about where and how to get it.
 
Thanks.

Is Mathematica shipping yet for the Silicon Graphics 4D machines?
I am particularly interested availability for the 4D/25....  
I guess I should ask my sales rep about the price....

On a related note:

Is it likely to be possible to get an X-windows front-end for
Mathematica to run on a Silicon Graphics 4D?  This would be in
addition to the native SGI front-end.
I intend to do a lot of work from a remote X-windows terminal, and
don't want to be limited to the raw ascii Mathematica interface when I
am away from the console....

Yes, Mathematica Version 1.2 is shipping for SGI machines. You can buy
it either from Silicon Graphics or from WRI ((217)-398-0700).

Yes, Mathematica runs under X-windows. I believe X-windows itself is
an extra cost product from SGI, but I could be wrong. In any case your
sales rep will probably be more informed about that than I.

We're considering purchasing Mathematica to run on our
4D/340.  If any of you have had any experience with
SGI's frontend, I'd like to hear your opinions.
