For those of us not blessed with free access to Matlab based upon job or Alma Mater, what is a good choice in the clones? www.scilab.org is given as a good one, but I cannot get to it from here in the evenings, for some reason (although tracert get to it in 35 msecs)
MATLAB clones?

There are win32 versions available.

In your experience, does it have the signal processing capability to simulate/calculate the various MATLAB exercises that one is likely to come across? Do you use it for DSP work?

Second, is the octave really enough compatible to use the original code with nearly no modification? -- Best regards, James K.
