Greetings from Allegheny College,

The latest version of Workbench(v3.0.2), our extensible data analysis and symbolic manipulation program is now available via anonymous ftp from ftp.alleg.edu.

Currently Workbench uses MathConnector.wbResource to communicate with Mathematica (via MathLink) and ImprovConnector.wbResource to communicate with Improv. The lastest version of MathConnector.wbResource will work with both Mathematica 2.1 and 2.2.  Both of these resources are on ftp.alleg.edu.
This version runs under NEXTSTEP 3.1 (m68k only).

One use of Workbench is as a general purpose front-end to Mathematica.

The following sample Workbench tools are available on ftp.alleg.edu.

	AlgebraicConversions
	Command
	ContourPlot
	DerivativeData
	FormatConverter
	Fourier
	Histogram
	ImprovDataFetcher
	Integrator
	ListPlot
	NumericalEvaluator
	Table

These tools can be loaded (dynamically) into Workbench (by dragging) much as specialized paint tools and filters can be loaded into IconBuilder, or tools and shapes can be loaded into 3DReality.  Each tool has its own help file and inspector.

For programmers, the latest version of ToolBuilder, our application for building Workbench tools is also on ftp.alleg.edu.

Workbench.app, ToolBuilder.app, README (quick instructions) and ToolBuildingInstructions can be found in /pub/ESDG/Multidisciplinary/Workbench.

MathConnector.wbResource and Improv.wbResourse are in
/pub/ESDG/Multidisciplinary/Workbench/Resources.

Workbench tools are in
/pub/ESDG/Multidisciplinary/Workbench/Tools.

Regards,
Chuck
