From e-mail conversations I had with Cleve Moler a year or to back, he felt
that his experience with the Stardent (now Kubota) port of MATLAB was a
support nightmare.  I would guess that he feels the same about the NeXT Step
interface.  Although we feel that NeXT Step is as stable or more stable than
X, Mathworks probably doesn't want to invest large sums for an oddball GUI.
That is too bad IMO.  

I deference to Mark Kotanchek's post, I really hope that Mathworks does
a native port to NS 3.0.

My $(2/100) worth,
