Dear Mathematica users,

I would like to announce the third edition of my testreport "Comparison
of mathematical programs for data analysis" which has just been
finished. The testreport which is written in English is available as PDF
file (Acrobat Reader) at the following website :

 http://www.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de/~stst/ncrunch/index.html

This testreport contains information about the actual versions of the
programs

- GAUSS       (Version 3.2)
- Macsyma     (Version 2.4)
- Maple       (Version 5.1)
- Mathematica (Version 4.0)
- Matlab      (Version 5.3)
- MuPAD       (Version 1.4.1)
- O-Matrix    (Version 4.0)
- Ox          (Version 2.1)
- R-Lab       (Version 2.0.12)
- Scilab      (Version 2.4.1)
- S-Plus      (Version 4.5)

grouped by the following sections

- Comparison of the mathematical functionality
- Comparison of the graphical functionality
- Functionality of the programming environment
- Data import/export options
- Available operating systems
- Speed comparison
- Summary

The weighting for the above listed sections are all explained in the
testreport so that an individual weighting could also be done.

Sincerely,
Stefan Steinhaus
