Cc: "emacs-orgmode@gnu.org" Matlab is "free" for us too, but it does not work in org-babel on windows. it works ok on linux, but not as well as python. Plus, we use python for all our research, and most importantly, I like it better ;) "Doyley, Marvin M." writes: > Thanks John, > > The biggest challenge has been getting my team to use emacs, and > appreciate its power.
