Announcing MATLAB 5!
Brett Buck
I visited the MATHWORKS web site and only the UNIX, MAC and PC
versions were announced. Any word on the VMS version?

On January 6 The MathWorks announced the release of MATLAB 5 which will
begin shipping in just a few weeks.
In addition to the MATLAB 5 release, major new versions of SIMULINK, the
Signal Processing Toolbox, the Control System Toolbox, and MATLAB 5
compatible versions of many other products will also be available. New
features in these products include:
* new development and programming tools
* expanded data handling support
* new algorithms
* online documentation
* and visual interfaces
that make MATLAB easier to use and learn, and better suited than ever for
large analyses and application development.
How to get more information:
To find out more details about the available products and their features,
see The MathWorks web site at http://www.mathworks.com. The site has
undergone a complete facelift for MATLAB 5, including text descriptions,
HTML-based demonstrations, and graphics highlighting the new product
features. It also includes information about updating to MATLAB 5.
When will MATLAB 5 ship?
Code development on the updated and compatible products is complete. What
remains are the final logistical details, such as mastering the CDs and
packaging the product. MATLAB 5 and the other products will be available
for shipment in just a few weeks.
How do I get my update?
If you are covered under the MATLAB Subscription or Workstation Renewal
program, you will automatically receive your MATLAB 5 update once the
product is available.
If you are a PC or Macintosh customer NOT currently on the update
subscription program, you will receive an information kit with a detailed,
personalized price quote in the next several weeks. NOTE: A subscription
for one years worth of MATLAB updates will be included in your purchase of
a MATLAB 5 update. For more information about the subscription program,
send email to subscr...@mathworks.com

way we don't have to wait for the CD's to be mastered.

Someone from The Mathworks also promised, in this newsgroup, an OS/2
version of MATLAB 5. When will this ship?
Sincerely,

I've heard that there will not be a native version of MATLAB for OS/2, but a
Win32s version that runs on Win3.11/Win95/WinNT aswell as OS/2 instead.
Next version of MATLAB might become the first native one for OS/2!
Please mail Mathworks to show interest of a port. You should also talk to comsol
in Sweden and inform them of your wishes!

Can I dynamicly link my c programs to octave in OS/2. I know it is
possible in Unix like environments. Was this feature ported to OS/2
as well?

But the MATLAB 5 released a few days ago is a WIN32 program is it not? Are
you saying that there will also be a WIN32s version of MATLAB 5? If so, when
will this ship?
When you say "Next version of MATLAB...", what exactly do you mean?

Rest assured of that I have done this, and of that I will continue to do so.

I have not tried it, but as far as I know, all unix funcionality exists also
in the OS/2 port. All numerical methods are implemented in DLLs, which
are documented in the liboct package. Compilation requires emx09c1
or newer version of gcc.
The implementation differences are only those which depend on the OS.
For instance, the OS/2 port uses OS/2's multimedia viewers for images, etc.
Otherwise, implementations are identical - Gnu info for online help, gnuplot
for graphs, documentation uses TeX, etc.

This text however was taken from the latest release (2.00), NEWS file:
" * Dynamic linking works on more systems using dlopen() and friends
(most modern Unix systems) or shl_load() and friends (HP/UX
systems). A simple example is provided in examples/hello.cc.
For this feature to work, you must configure Octave with
--enable-shared. You may also need to have a shared-library
version of libg++ and libstdc++.

Technical Support Reference Number: 79624
Dear Alex,
I am writing in response to your email of Monday, 20 January 1997,
concerning the use of MATLAB 5 with Windows 3.1.
MATLAB 5 was built under Windows 95 and Windows NT versions 3.51 and
4.0; it will not run under Windows 3.1. There are no plans to produce
a version that is Windows 3.1 compliant.
If you have further questions regarding this issue, please be sure to
mention the above Technical Support Reference Number in your e-mail
response to me.
Sincerely,
Vada Seccareccia
Technical Support Engineer

Looks like there is no Win 3.1 support....or somebody is wrong.

uday...@imap1.asu.edu
Yes we do need Matlab 5.0 that is windows 3.11 compliant. I vote for it.
