So do we all - all I'm doing is volunteering to keep the Mac version updated. > I prefer the term SciPerl for the following reasons: > > * It's meaning is more clear to someone who is not already a PDL user. No, SciPDL is better. It's PDL, not a generalized Science package for Perl. There may be other Perl science languages that would claim they are "Science" for "Perl". Keep PDL in the name of the package is a sensible thing to do. > * It opens the door to useful non-PDL scientific packages. Not really.

The issue is finding someone to build the Windows one click packages......
