- From e-mail conversations I had with Cleve Moler a year or to back, he felt
- that his experience with the Stardent (now Kubota) port of MATLAB was a
- support nightmare. I would guess that he feels the same about the NeXT Step
- interface. Although we feel that NeXT Step is as stable or more stable than
- X, Mathworks probably doesn't want to invest large sums for an oddball GUI.
- That is too bad IMO.
-
- I deference to Mark Kotanchek's post, I really hope that Mathworks does
- a native port to NS 3.0.
