My Scientific Software wish list:
1) A function plotter with high quality print outs. Every function
plotter I have seen just does a screen dump/iff picture of the plotted
function. I would like the kind of quality output that is provided by
MultiPlot-xlnc (a public domain data plotter). The hard copy print outs
from MultiPlot look exactly like those from an HPGL plotter.
2) A Finite Element analysis program (for structural engineering). Not
quite your field, but maybe you're interested in such things.
3) A MathCad type of program. I have heard of a program called Maple but
have not seen it work. I like the presentation of equations that MathCad
uses.
4) Statistical Software. I have seen one Shareware version where the
author was asking $150 (If memory serves me). That is abit stiff on price
for me.
5) A low cost Fortran compiler. I know of AC Fortran ( $ 195) and BCF
Fortran (all of the error messages are in German).
6) A vortex-lattice program for aerodynamic analysis. (If I ever break
down and buy AC Fortran I could port one over to the Amiga)
I generally go into school when I need to use a program of this type,
but it would be nice to see them for the Amiga. I would generally pay
around $60 – 70 for programs of good quality.
