Short: A numeric math tool simular to Matlab/Simulink
Author: scilab@inria.fr (authors), michael@canton.prima.ruhr.de (amiga port)
Uploader: michael@canton.prima.ruhr.de (Michael Bock)
Version: 2.2
Type: misc/math
Scilab is an interactive, interpreted software package (with a syntax
similar to the MATLAB one) which has a number of powerful features:
- lists
- symbolic manipulation of polynomials and polynomial matrices
- symbolic manipulation of linear and non-linear systems
- non-linear calculation: simulation and optimization
- easy interfacing with fortran and C codes
- graphical output in X11 Window (2D, 3D, ode plots, Bode & Nyquist digrams ..)
- Output to .ps and .fig
Requirements:
-------------
- Amiga KS 2.0
- 68030 8MB Fast +VMM (Scilab needs 12MB of contiguos memory)
Anything below will turn your Amiga into a swap machine !
- 16 MB HardDrive Space
- AmiWin 2.22 X11R6 server for graphics
(runs in a cli window too, if no graphics are required)
- AmiTCP (if AmiWin is used)
- Ixemul library V43.0
Archive is splitted into three parts. You need ALL of them:
scilab-bin.lha
scilab-doc.lha
scilab-ext.lha
Installation:
-------------
o Modify the script "Startsci" in this directory. It starts all applications
required to run Scilab.
o If the program is started with -nw option, Amitcp and Amiwin are not
required, because in this case the cli version is used.
o If you have trouble running the program this is usually because VMM
crashes. So be luckly if you have 32 megs of physical ram ;-))
o Copy X-Defaults to your x11 defaults
o Metanet application is not functional. It will cause a crash !!
Online help seems not to work either. Look at the man pages from cli.
"Scilab" script can only be started from a unix shell like sh !
o Write your comments for the amiga-port to
- Michael@canton.prima.ruhr.de
and for scilab to
- scilab@inria.fr
o Respect scilab's copyright policy (notice.ps).
