Group charter

[Michael Maurer]

I'm glad to see this new group has been created. Just for everyone's
personal edification, I'm posting the group's charter as accepted by
the vote that created the newsgroup. Let's all keep the SNR high!

CHARTER:
The newsgroup 'comp.soft-sys.matlab' is a forum for discussing issues
related to the use of Matlab, the scientific calculation and
visualization package from MathWorks Inc. This includes discussion of
similar software packages which are also derived from the original
public domain Matlab, such as Xmath from Integrated Systems Inc.

CONTENT:
Appropriate discussion in the group will include both general
Matlab issues and platform-specific questions, and discussion
comparing Matlab to other systems. Some examples:

General Matlab issues
Answers to novices' questions, with an evolving FAQ
Exchange of public-domain Matlab source code
Use of commercial toolboxes (advice, bugs, etc.)
Implementation of numerical algorithms
etc.

Platform-specific issues
Graphical output
Interface to external programs
etc.

Comparison to other systems
MATRIXx/Xmath, and to a lesser extent Mathematica, AVS, Khoros, etc.
