Do you suppose that the good people at The MathWorks might have reason 
to tout their product to the widest possible user base? I'm more 
inclined to believe "He is the greatest" than "I am the greatest."

Is Mathworks the author, then, or the publisher?

Why not?

Regards,

The tools I would use is
- portaudio library for realtime IO. I tried it once with full duplex,
works nicely
- fltk for a GUI, if it can't be avoided
- C/C++ for coding

The libraries are multiplatform, that is you can use the same code on
Windows / Linux etc with no / minimal changes.

This doesn't imply that those are the best tools for the job, but I'm
reasonably confident that there are no "show-stoppers".

Note, writing a real-time audio app isn't completely trivial.

I have a book which on the cover has printed "Matlab The Language of
Technical Computing, Using Matlab V6" from The Math Works. Printed on
the spline is "Mathlab The Language of Technical Computing". It seems
MathWorks are confused as to it's name also.

Have you thought about Labview from National Instruments? NI holds
free one day "Hands-on Tasters" here in the UK, and I would imagine in
Germany as well. This may help get you started, although be warned
Labview is a pricey product!

The difference is important. 'Matlab' is an acronym for 'matrix
laboratory' and points to the beginnings of the product, 25 years
ago, when it started out as a simple user interface on top of
the LINPACK/EISPACK/LAPACK libraries for linear algebra.
The name 'Matlab' points directly to a lab tool for numerical
operations on matrices.

'Mathlab' (with an 'h') points to the misconception that
the product is a general purpose mathematical tool. Which
it most definately is not.

Anyway, any tool with 'lab' as part of its name should not
be a first choise for developing demanding applications...

So what do you suggest then? More spelling practice?

i've heard of Mathcad and i've heard of Matlab, but not of "Mathlab".
who is that?

Realtime & interactivity is what i am looking for. Also online
graphical display. Are there better choices then?
