GNU Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical computations. It provides a convenient command line interface for solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing other numerical experiments using a language that is mostly compatible with Matlab. Octave 3.2.4 version has been released and is now available for ftp. This version fixes/improvements/adds new features, e.g.:

Magic is a venerable VLSI layout tool, written in the 1980's at Berkeley. New versions of Magic, stable and development, has been released. In this new development distribution (Magic version 8.0.58);
