In a follow up on MatLab for the Next. I also stongly suggest
everyone interested get on the horn and let MathWorks know there is a
market out there. My inside info says if they get a big enough
push they may fall over.
By the way try contacting Chris Velis (508) 369 5115 at MathWorks.
He's been real helpful to me.

If they did, I'd probably buy a NeXT. We do dynamics research and use matlab extensively. Right now I'm looking to spend some money. If Matlab was available for the NeXT, we'd buy three. Since it isn't we likely won't buy any. Anybody listening? Well, I've just reached over and grabbed a manual. Mathworks can be reached at the following address, but better yet, there is an email address :-). If you care, send them a note, it doesn't cost any money; I'm forwarding this letter to them.

A related note: Maple, another great math-related package, is being ported to NeXT. It will include a significant (user interface?) upgrade, as I understand. The person working on it was at yesterday's meeting of the Southern California NeXT Users Group (SCaN). I am not sure if he wants his name mentioned here, but post if you're interested and perhaps more detail will be revealed. A NeXTdimension-equipped NeXTcube was at the SCaN meeting, along with a NeXT Systems Engineer (Chet Kapoor, if I remember correctly) and NeXTUCLA campus consultant Allen Denison. The audienced convinced the demonstrators to try all sorts of bleeding-edge wild-and-crazy things, and most such tests resulted in very positive results; Like, PaperSight by VISUS supporting full-collor TIFF file annotations to scanned in documents, even though the demonstrator from VISUS made a comment before the demo that the version of PaperSight he was demonstrating wasn't designed to support color at all. And, compressing the 500K image of the toucan bird using the maximum JPEG Q-factor allowed by CompressionLab -- resulting in a 5K image file generated in 13 seconds, that was still presented a very recognizable image of the bird. (The NeXTdimension system was not capable of JPEG compression hardware, but that topic has been discussed here before.) Gary
