Title: Yorick
Version: 1.4
Description: Yorick is a very fast interpreted language designed for
scientific computing and numerical analysis. The syntax
is similar to C, but without declarative statements.
Operations between arrays yield array results, and Yorick
provides a very rich selection of multi-dimensional array
indexing operations. Yorick also features a binary I/O
package which automatically translates floating point and
integer representations on the machine where it is running
to and from the format of any other machine. Thus, you can
easily share binary files between, for example, Cray YMPs
and DEC alphas, or "teach" Yorick to read existing binary
databases. Yorick also offers an interactive graphics
package based on X windows. X-Y plots, quadrilateral
meshes, filled meshes, cell arrays, and contours are
supported. Finally, you can embed compiled routines in
custom versions of Yorick to solve problems for which the
interpreter is too slow. The primary use of Yorick to date
has been as a pre- and post-processor for large physical
simulation programs.

Platforms: Requires ANSI C compiler. Interactive graphics requires
X window system. Tested on Sun (SunOS and Solaris), HP
PA-RISC, IBM RS/6000, DEC alpha, SGI, Cray YMP, and Linux;
should not be difficult to build on other UNIX machines.
