[comp.sys.next] Mathematica on the NeXT

beaucham@uxh.cso.uiuc.edu (10/05/90)

In the original NeXT, Mathematica was bundled with the system.  But I see no
mention of Mathematica on the list of software items given on p. 16 of the
new "Fall 1990 List Prices".  Does this mean that Mathematica has been 
dropped?  Too bad, if it is.  I hear the new version of Mathematica for the
Mac is a knockout and includes sound capability.  Does anyone know why it
was dropped from the NeXT and how much it will cost to replace it?

Users of the old systems will get an upgrade. Academic Users will get
Mathematica also on the new systems. Mathematica is available as a 3rd
party product ofr al the others.
This is my understanding of the Mathematica-status.
