I'll be even more tangent. Those interested in Ox, see http://www.de.ufpe.br/~cribari/ox.pdf Cheers, Francisco.

The economist Jurgen Doornik has written a language called Ox: http://www.nuff.ox.ac.uk/Users/Doornik/doc/ox/ox.htm It obviously caters to econometricians. The unix version is free. I did use it at one time before R was really rolling. I used it for MLE because I think at that time there was no nlm() routine in R yet! Ox seemed fine though had no graphics. Anyway I am mentioning this in case Ox is similar to Gauss. I know that Ox is C-like, maybe Gauss is too, and so maybe not too hard to port Gauss progs to Ox.
