- digennar@fcs280s.ncifcrf.gov (Frank S. DiGennaro) asked for opinions
- on MathCad. So in a further effort to provoke a response from any MathCad
- users out there ...

- The advertisement with the $79 offer tells a person very little about what
- it can and cannot do. So I visited some computer bookstores yesterday in
- hopes of learning more, but none of them had any books on MathCad. Nor do I
- recall many MathCad postings in this group, even after Frank posted his
- inquiry. If they are on version 3.1, it must have been around long enough
- to acquire a following. Perhaps MathCad is shunned because its capabilities
- fall short of those of Maple, Mathematica, and other commonly mentioned
- computer algebra systems?
