+Scilab is a scientific software package for numerical computations in a
+user-friendly environment. It features:
+
+ Elaborate data structures (polynomial, rational and string matrices,
+ lists, multivariable linear systems,...).
+ Sophisticated interpreter and programming language with Matlab-like syntax.
+ Hundreds of built-in math functions (new primitives can easily be added).
+ Stunning graphics (2d, 3d, animation).
+ Open structure (easy interfacing with Fortran and C via online
+ dynamic link).
+ Many built-in libraries:
+ Linear Algebra (including sparse matrices, Kronecker form,
+ ordered Schur,...).
+ Control (Classical, LQG, H-infinity,...).
+ Package for LMI (Linear Matrix Inequalities) optimization.
+ Signal processing.
+ Simulation (various ode's, dassl,...).
+ Optimization (differentiable and non-differentiable, LQ solver).
+ Metanet (network analysis and optimization).
+ Symbolic capabilities through Maple interface.
+
+Note: To configure your local printers, add their names to the PRINTERS
+ variable in the scilab script.
+
+For more information see Scilab Home Page http://www-rocq.inria.fr/scilab/.
