RLaB is a free linear algebra and plotting package in the spirit of MATLab.  
The package relies heavily on LAPACK, FFTPACK, and RANLIB sources available
from netlib.  Plotting routines use PLPLOT from dino.ph.utexas.edu.

From the "help INTRO" command:

		Introduction to RLaB  "Our"-LaB.
		
		RLaB is a vector and matrix oriented, interactive,
		interpreted programming LANGUAGE. Although RLaB started as an
		effort to functionally replace MATLAB, the language and
		functions are NOT MATLAB replicas. Although the language is
		similar to MATLAB in some ways there are numerous differences
		(I hope for the better). The help file MATLAB_DIFF briefly
		discusses the primary differences between RLaB and MATLAB. If
		you are a MATLAB expert please read the MATLAB_DIFF file
		ASAP.
		
		The RLaB Primer is also a good starting point for new users.
		It is short, and provides many introductory examples.

Tested no a PowerMac 7100 running system 7.5.1.
