GAUSS -- matrix-based programming language with mathematical functions

 -------available on: RCF: almaak
                      SCF: n/a
                      super-RCF: n/a
 ------support level: full
 ----current version: 3.6
 ----path to command: /usr/usc/gauss/default/gauss
 -------normal setup: to use multiple stat packages (including gauss): 
                           source  /usr/usc/stats/setup.csh  (or setup.sh)
                      to use gauss only:
                           set path=( /usr/usc/stats/bin  $path)
                           source  /usr/usc/gauss/default/setup.csh (setup.sh)
                      NOTE: in RCF these are done automatically at login, 
                        unless master.login is not sourced
 -invoke interactive: gauss -v (for ascii mode)
 --------------batch: gauss -B inputfile
 ----printing output: redirect standard output to file, then print (lpr) file
                          gauss -B inputfile > outputfile
 ----------workspace: workspace set (20Mb) in /usr/usc/gauss/default/gauss.cfg
                        to increase, copy gauss.cfg to user-accessible 
                        directory, point environment variable GAUSS_CFG 
                        to the directory holding the user's copy of the file, 
                        and change the following two parameters in gauss.cfg:
                           workspace = NN
                           swap_check = on
                        where NN is 
                          [size (in MB) of the largest data file
                          to be used] x [4] + [2 MB].
 ----------X version: available as default in 3.2.13 and later
                        to run in non-X mode: gauss -v
                      if graphics are requested in a 'job', the entire
                        program MUST be run in X mode, and the following
                        must be typed in the program.  At the top, enter:
                          #IFUNIX
                          let v = 100 100 640 480 40 80 1 6 15 0 0 2 2;
                          pbw = WinOpenPQG( v, "Graph Window", "Graph" );
                          call WinSetActive( pbw );
                          #ENDIF
                        and then type this at the end of the program:
                          #IFUNIX
                          call WinSetActive( 1 );
                          #ENDIF
