First of all - thanks to all of you who responded to my question the other
week on ASYST vs MatLab.
To summarize, most was in favour of MatLab, mainly because of it's relative
ease of programming. Someone pointed out that the widespread use of MatLab
in research and education makes problem solving and sharing applications
easier. The fact that MatLab exist in a special 386 edition makes it possible
to work with large amounts of data without slamming into the memory barrier
immediately. On the other hand, the graphics environment in MatLab seems to
be inferior. The only use of a pointing device seems to be in gin operations.
There seems to be no support for windows-like operations in MatLab.
ASYST appears to be fairly well suited for graphics orientated user inter-
faces, supporting mouse operations in a window-based (not MS-Windows) 
environment. 
If any differences exist between the two in terms of analysis tools, this
would be in favour of MatLab. But both programs seems to offer a fair selection
of operators for basic as well as complex analysis.

Well that should be it I thought, MatLab would be the choise - until
yesterday when the ASYST sales rep told me that they are releasing a
new program called VIEWDAC. He sent me a fax of the specs, and it is
quite impressive.

So once again I have to turn to you out there asking for info.

Can anyone supply "hands on" experience of VIEWDAC ?  If you can compare it
to ASYST and/or MatLab it would be even more interesting.

Thanks once again,
