How right you are.  Here's what I get by using the new "lookfor" command
with the string "fourier":

386-Matlab 3.5k thru 3.5m run under OS/2 2.0 without a significant

increase. It does support Windows 32 bit applications, such as Mathematica
for Windows.

MathWorks has not tested 4.0 with OS/2 2.1 ; the tech support guy who
knew anything about OS/2 was waiting to get a copy. Based on what he said
I've ordered a copy of 4.0 to be used under OS/2 2.1. The release
date he gave me was February 12.

Actually, the original Matlab was written by Cleve Moler, who was then
a faculty member at the University of New Mexico.  According to him,
the original Matlab was never intended to be placed in the public
domain, and as far as I know, it is not `shareware' either.  I've
appended a copy of a message Cleve sent to sci.math.num-analysis a
couple of years ago that explains more.

As for the availability of other Matlab-like software, I know of two
systems that are currently being developed.  RLaB, written by Ian
Searle, is a language similar to Matlab, but incompatible in many
ways.  Octave, which I am working on, more closely resembles Matlab.

Both are freely redistributable under the terms of the Free Software
Foundation's General Public License, and both are currently in alpha
test, which means that there are probably some bugs left to find, and
some features left to add.  :-)

I posted an announcement for Octave last week, but if you missed it,
it's available via anonymos ftp from ftp.che.utexas.edu in the file
/pub/octave/Announce.  You can also find the sources for the last
couple of versions of Octave in the same directory.

Archie shows that RLaB is available from mizar.docs.uu.se in the
directory /pub/alpha/RLaB.

As promised, here's Cleve's post:

You don't need an m-file for that - just use:

I installed OS/2 2.1 last week.  I started up enhanced mode windows,
double-clicked on matlab-s.exe, and started to take 10000 svd's of
a 4x4 random matrix.  The little hourglass popped up like usual, so I
hit ALT-ESC and was back to the OS/2 desktop with matlab humming away
in the background!  Haven't used it much, so I don't know if there are
any bugs that might pop up, but it looks good so far.

I tried to tell Mathworks about how matlab/simulink would take control
of my machine for 45 minutes+ under windows, and they said that yes it
does hog the cpu and there was not planned a fix for it.  Neither were
they planning to test it under OS/2.  Well, at least OS/2 now has a way
around this feature.  Another thing I didn't like about matlab for
windows is that Ctrl-C doesn't always interrupt it.  I had to reboot my
machine several times when I was debugging an .m file.  Again, OS/2 to
the rescue.

Ken Neighbors
wkn@leland.stanford.edu

P.S.  I'm using an ATI Graphics Ultra with 8514/A drivers.  I've read
that windows may not run in the background with some graphics cards, so
this might not work all the time.

P.P.S  I've been wanting to try a 386 Matlab under OS/2, but I haven't
gotten hold of one yet.

Originator: ric@updike


	We have some SUNs (4/670 and SS2) that I have recently installed
SUN's 2.0.1 version C and fortran on.  The SUNs use SunOS 4.1.3 and MATLAB
4.0A.

	We are having a terrible time gettting the MEX utility to work.
[It had worked before installing the new compilers.]  The file, .mexrc.sh
in the matlab/bin subdirectory has a bug that prevents proper linking.
[BUG 1].  I customized a user's .mexrc.sh file as follows to try to
overcome that problem.  This is the line I changed:

            LD_FCLIBS="/usr/lang/SC2.0.1/libF77.a /usr/lang/SC2.0.1/libm.a 
                       /usr/lib/libc.a"

	    It was: LD_FCLIBS=

This allows a sample mex (fortran) file to be built with fmex, but when
we try to run in MATLAB, we get:

Undefined symbol '___builtin_saveregs' in file /home/updike/usr6/nixon/stdfilstuff/testformex.mex4.
Undefined symbol '___f_clos' in file /home/updike/usr6/nixon/stdfilstuff/testformex.mex4.

Undefined symbol '___base_conversion_write_only_do' in file /home/updike/usr6/nixon/stdfilstuff/testformex.mex4.
??? Invalid MEX-file



___builtin_saveregs: This ugly beast is apparently only defined in a gcc
library.  Arrrggh!

	A second BUG is that I changed the CC= line in .mexrc.sh to
CC=acc hoping to use the ANSI compiler.  This line is not picked up
by fmex (or cmex).

	I have a call into The Mathworks, several hours old, but so far
no response.  [Frustration......]  Is there a policy at the Mathworks to 
return calls within a specified time limit?

      Has anyone seen this problem before?  If so, could you comment on how you
solved it?

	Thanks in advance for all responses.

Organization: Scientific Computing/Computational Mathematics (SCCM), Stanford U.
Date: Sun, 24 Jan 1993 21:47:35 GMT



Several recent postings have asked about MATLAB to Fortran and
MATLAB to C translation.  The closest thing we have is a new
"Code Generation" facility that takes SIMULINK blocks and 
generates C code for use in real-time simulation, control and
signal processing hardware, including equipment from a Germany
company, dSpace.  This amounts to translation from a limited subset
of MATLAB-esse to C.

The facilities available with other M-systems like Mathematica,
Maple and MACSYMA, will translate single arithmetic expressions
in those languages to Fortran, C or Tex.  Since these systems can
generate lengthly arithmetic expressions, such translation is
useful.  But there is no translation of larger code fragments
or complete subprograms.

I would like to have the program runing in the 386 for obvious reasons. Does

OK, I've debated about asking this question for a while, but since I see

When will Matlab 4.0 be available on the DecStation and PC platforms?  I've
seen ads since July in IEEE Spectrum about it, and it's shipping for the
Sun, but there's been no mention about the DEC and PC versions.

I'm sure all reading this bboard would appreciate a time-table for the

full plot screen bounding box even though one has only
used part of the plotting area, e.g.  subplot(211).

Also, I'm sure the lines produced by 4.0a will always appear
at the same places in the postscript plot as they did on
the screen :-). Using  hold  and plotting a line whose
endpoints are outside the plot performs correctly on screen
but sometimes gives randomized postscript output.
