- Rlab is _not_ a clone of languages such as those used by tools
- like MATLAB or matrix_X/Xmath. However, as Rlab focuses on
- creating a good experimental environment (or laboratory) in
- which to do matrix math, it can be called "MATLAB-like" since
- the programming language possesses similar operators and
- concepts. Extensive use has been made of the LAPACK, FFTPACK
- and RANLIB sources available from netlib.

- The most significant difference between the other proprietary
- tools and RLaB is the GNU Copyleft.

- See the file INSTALL for installation instructions.

- See the examples directory for simple examples on how to use
- the program, and the plotting capabilities.
