Very similar experiences here, even when it was impossible for us to get a 3rd party license for MATLAB (i.e. one our users at the member Universities could use). Now we've crawled over broken glass to get MATLAB DCS working for them and we do have some people taking it up, but it's a pretty hard configuration curve for them. :-( cheers, Chris -- Christopher Samuel - (03) 9925 4751 - Systems Manager The Victorian Partnership for Advanced Computing P.O.
