I did self update, and it seems to install some packages now.  F2C and DLCOMPAT
did work.  However, I tried SCILAB twice, and it goes on and on for hours, until
it crashes my computer.  I'm trying OCTAVE now.  Its also been running for
hours, and seems to repeat itself (I mean the screen output).  Is it possible
there is still a problem?

Thanks again for all the help!
