I have a friend who is looking to but a computer and I am trying to convince him to buy an Amiga, but he *NEEDS* scientific software (like Mathematica and
statistical package). I do not know if any of these (or anything similar) are
available for the Amiga.
Any recomendations would be appreciated.
Please e-mail as I am not a regular reader of this newsgroup.

I for one would like to see a list of these packages posted. I am currently in dire need of a good statistics package (e.g. SPSS) and will be forced to purchase (gag!) a MessyDos computer if I can't find one for the Amiga. I already know that Maple is available for the Amiga, but I have yet to find out from whom, exactly. If anyone knows, please send me email. Sean McCreary

AMXLisp has lisp include files for AmigaDOS, etc and allows c-structs and calling OS functions. FF181 I think is the disk. Works on a plain-vanilla Amiga. (I asked a Lisp Scheme Q in comp.sys.amiga.programmer about 2 days ago.)

According to the description, it is a port of Luke Tierney's original Mac version. And that version apparently needs a 68020 (anyone know why?). -- Steven Litvintchouk MITRE Corporation Burlington Road Bedford, MA 01730 (617)271-7753 ARPA: sdl@mbunix.mitre.org UUCP: ...{att,decvax,genrad,necntc,ll-xn,philabs,utzoo}!linus!sdl "Where does he get those wonderful toys?"

SYSTAT basically gives away a decent system for both MAC and MS-DOS. There are a variety of PD, shareware, courseware, studentware, and profware programs for both MAC and MS-DOS.
