- This distribution contains the November 30, 1991 port of MATLAB for
- the NeXT. This port was completed by Jeff Burns from the May 25, 1982
- version of MATLAB which has been running for several years on IBM PC's
- at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.
-
- No warranty of any kind is provided for MATLAB by Jeff Burns or
- anyone else!
-
- INSTALLATION:
-
- The suggested way of installing MATLAB is to put the file "matlab"
- in "/usr/local/bin" and the file "matlab.hlp" in "/usr/local/lib." It
- may also be desirable to edit the help file to include the location of
- the MATLAB User' Guide. Of course, the executable file "matlab" can
- reside almost anywhere on the file system, but the help file
- "matlab.hlp" must reside either in the current directory or in
- /usr/local/lib. If either of these places is not acceptable it will
- be necessary to change line 32 of sys.f and recompile.
-
- COMPILATION:
-
- The executable file "matlab" provided in this release was compiled
- using f2c from AT&T Bell Laboratories. The Makefile in the source
- directory assumes the use of f2c.
-
- SUGGESTIONS:
-
- My intention in undertaking this port of MATLAB to the NeXT has
- been to provide the features available in the May 25, 1982 version of
- MATLAB to NeXT users. No attempt has been made to extend the basic
- capabilities of this version of MATLAB. If anyone has any suggestions
- about how to enhance the way this version of MATLAB runs on NeXT
- computers please send them to me. Also, I suspect that someone else has
- ported MATLAB to a UNIX machine before. If anyone knows of a newer,
- or better, version of MATLAB that is still in the public domain please
- let me know, and I will try to get it running on the NeXT. I am
- especially interested in finding code that alleviates the inability of
- this version to use mixed case file names.

- As a final note, if you are a serious user of MATLAB why not write
- a letter to the publisher of MatLab Pro asking them to release a
- version for the NeXT. Their address is
