Welcome to MATCOM V2!
----------------------

MATCOM, the world's first Matlab to C++ compiler, reduces your simulation
time and memory requirements. MATCOM creates MEX files and standalone C++
applications, with royalty free distribution.

Matlab code is translated code to C++, which is compiled by your optimizing
C++ compiler. The resulting code runs significantly faster than the original
interpreted source.

MATCOM is based on the MATCOM MATH LIBRARY, A C++ Matrix library consisting
of over 300 mathematical function. Functions supplied includes basic unary
and binary operations, powerful indexing capabilities, signal processing,
file i/o, linear algebra, string operations and graphics. The Linear Algebra
functions are based on the well known LINPACK and EISPACK. Complex matrices
are fully supported. The library is built on the target system, enabling the
selection of compiler optimization flags and local BLAS libraries.

MATCOM supports matrices of doubles, floats, ints and chars mixed in the
program. Source compatability with Matlab is maintained. Images can be
stored in matrices of chars, using 1/8 memory storage. On many applications,
where 8 digits of precision are sufficient, float matrices can save half
the memory usage.

2D and 3D Graphics is supported in standalone applications using the freely
available graphics package, Gnuplot.

Source code created highly resembles the original code using C++ language
features. The C++ code and our freely redistributable matrix math library
can be integrated in your C++ projects. Input and output of data can be done
using SAVE,LOAD,vectorized file I/O and C++ I/O.


Installation : DJGPP, emx
--------------------------------------------
Instruction are in matcom.ps (PostScript) or matcom.txt (plain text).
The PostScript version is better.
Quick install: make, make install


Installation : PC
-----------------
Instruction are in matcom.doc (MS Word) or matcom.wri (MS Write).
The Word version is better.
