672.0. "MATLAB" by CADLAC::SHANNON () Mon Mar 02 1987 07:34

    I am looking for a matrix package known as MATLAB. Does anyone
    know where I might be able to find it.
    
    
    thanks

672.1Would another package do?MODEL::YARBROUGHMon Mar 02 1987 09:122
No, but there are other matrix packages around. What is special about 
MATLAB (aside from its invisibility)?
672.2I wish I knewBLITO3::ERCOLANOTony ErcolanoMon Mar 02 1987 23:347
    MATLAB is an interactive front-end to the linpack subroutine library.
    It was written by the same person (Chris Mohler is close to the
    persons name) who wrote most of the linpack library.  Sorry, I don't
    know where you can find it.  If you do find it could you let me
    know?

672.3I Need MATLAB because...LEDS::GIOVANETTITue Mar 03 1987 07:5220
    Hi,
    
    I'm really the one looking for MATLAB.  Mike submited the original
    note for me since I didn't know of this notes conference until now.
    
    I've been mailing all over the ENET trying to find this supposedly
    popular package.  Yes, I know about LINPACK, EISPACK, and MATRIXx.
    I need MATLAB to be compatible with the rest of the people in a
    college course that I'm taking.  Plus, MATLAB is a nice thing to
    have around since it is interactive (as was just mentioned in the
    previous reply) and it been around long enough to not cost anything.
                                                                        
    I've been told it's out there somewhere, so I'll just keep on
    searching.  Keep your eyes open and thanks for responding.

672.4Back in school...TOOK::APPELLOFCarl J. AppellofTue Mar 03 1987 10:252
    GEE, I think I used it on a DEC-10 once.  Can you find one of THOSE
    around? :-)
672.5Matlab for saleCACHE::GOLDFri Mar 06 1987 17:447
    An enhanced C version of the earlier Fortran version of Matlab
    can be purchased from Mitchell & Gauthier Associates, Corcord, MA.
    Their phone number is (617) 369-5115.  I too am interested in
    obtaining a public domain Fortran version of Matlab.

672.6MATHLAB <> MATLABDENTON::AMARTINAlan H. MartinFri Mar 13 1987 15:4210
Re .4:

I thought the infamous package for the -10 was named MAThLAB, not MATLAB.
If so, I wouldn't expect it to be exclusively a matrix package.  I never
used MATHLAB, so I couldn't really say, myself.

Unfortunately, the law department's trademark VTX database is down at the
moment, otherwise I'd check the hypothesis that Digital owns the trademark
"MATHLAB".

672.7How about LIBMAT ?ANYWAY::WOLFFI feel the need, the need for speedMon Mar 16 1987 17:118
    How about LIBMAT, it is also a Matrix package and I guess you can
    write some routiners to plug it in to your packages.
    
    I guess it is available in TOOLSHED, if not mail me for a copy.

                                -< VMS Matlab >-
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I have uploaded the VMS version of MATLAB (including source) in
    the directory PARITY::USER$04:[MUTH.MATLAB.VMS].  Relavent files
    include:

	INSTALL.      installation instructions 1100 lines 
	MAT.FOR       source code for MATLAB subroutine 3850 lines 
	LIB.FOR       source library 3339 lines 
	SYS_UNIX.FOR  Unix system-dependent code 900 lines 
	SYS_VMS.FOR   VMS system-dependent code 260 lines 
	MATLAB.DOC    full manual in original form 3960 lines 
	HELP.LIS      essential, help text (place in directory $MATLAB)
	DEMO.         eigenvalue sensitivity example 21 lines 
	MATZ.FOR      MATZ 100 lines 
	MATLAB.NROFF  NROFF input for manual 3250 lines 
	MAT.SNGL      single precision MATLAB subroutine 3850 lines 
	LIB.SNGL      single precision library source 3339 lines 
	MATLAB.EXE    executable (VMS) file

    The documentation (MATLAB.DOC) should be PRINTed using the
    /NOFEED qualifier.  ***NOTE*** the logical name $MATLAB MUST
    be defined as the directory where HELP.LIS may be found.
    (the program will crash if $MATLAB is not defined).

    In summary, to get a working (no source) version of MATLAB, use 
    the following:

	1. Copy (using SPOOL) the executable (MATLAB.EXE) and the help
	   file (HELP.LIS) from PARITY::USER$04:[MUTH.MATLAB.VMS]

	2. DEFINE the logical name $MATLAB to be the directory where
	   HELP.LIS is located.

	3. Run!

    Bill

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

	I also have a version for MSDOS which I will ARC and upload
	when I get some more VMS disk space.
