There is also Scilab. I've only used it a tiny bit but for the task it worked well. I do know that it has a somewhat restrictive license. It is open source, but you aren't allowed to modify and redistribute the source. I get the feeling that some people avoid Scilab but I'm not sure why. If anybody knows the reason I'd be happy to hear it. Scilab website: http://www.scilab.org -Matt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
