kst2 under Windows for some data analysis. Though still somewhat unstable and
not feature complete (no surprise, it's a beta and the first version after a
major rewrite – they know and understand it!) it gets the job done, and
rather well. Most people find kst good, even in the current still-a-bit-broken
status. I'm rather optimistic with what I know about future plans to make it
even better </span></font><font size=2 face=Wingdings><span lang=EN-GB

are still features I have never used, but still…) here was my overall
impression. I thought I'd share it with you for what's it's worth, even though
I plan to add more interesting details in a later message. So, don't be
