Hi,

I'm evaluating the project you submitted for approval in Savannah.

Hi,
Your project has been approved but we have not forwarded your request
to evaluate your package for the GNU project, since you do not have
any code/text to be evaluated yet. When you do, you can ask yourself
address@hidden to evaluate your project for inclusion in GNU.

Also you will have to look for an other software pakket than Scilab,
as it isn't free software.  I had a look at the "example", and I
suggest you use octave, yacas and gnuplot.

octave is a free alternative to Mathlab, and yacas is a free version
of Maple.  gnuplot can be used for plots.

Also, when uploading do insert the GNU FDL in your document as stated
on
http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html

Please mail me when you have done this, so I can check it.

Regards,


Rudy
