  Has anyone here used both SciLab and Octave? I've done a very little
matrix manipulations with the latter and it seems to be (upon superficial
examination) that the major difference is that SciLab has a gui and Octave
is a language run from the command line. Both are supposed to be MatLab
equivalents.

  I'm trying to sort out the differences, strengths and weaknesses of each
one. Then, of course, there's the R language for statistics and other math.
Gets confusing.
