Hi, guys:

Octave is a good matlab clone. But I would to recommend to try tela out too.

First tela is from  http://www.geo.fmi.fi/prog/tela.html.

Second three main pluses I think tela is worthing a try:
  	multidimensional array up to 8
        .ct file interfacing with existing C/C++/Fortran programs very easily
        more efficient than matlab or octave, usually take less than half time 
for a same operation than matlab, octave

By the way, in octave2.0.13, I try rand(1000) and I get a memory exhausted 
error and it takes unreasonable long time. Does anyone here have same 
experiences? My machine is linux 2.0.35 with 32M Ram P200.
