Intel Fortran and C/C++ compilers
To use the intel high-performance Fortran and C/C++ compilers you have to source the files
. /opt/bin/ifortvars.sh
for the Fortran compiler resp.
. /opt/bin/iccvars.sh
for the C/C++ compiler (note the leading dot). The compilers are invoked by ifort (Fortran) resp. icc (C/C++). Consult the docs listed above.

Maple Version 8 runs on all machines thanks to a campus licence. Start it using xmaple and maple, resp.
Mathematica
A network license of Mathematica version 5.2 is installed (on all maschines). The graphical interface is started with mathematica and the text mode interface with math. If there are no free licenses then start mathematica_5.1 or math_5.1.
Matlap
Matlab Version 6 runs on cranach and schiller with a one-user license only. Start it with
matlab -c /soft2/Matlab/etc/license.dat.schiller on schiller.
If the licence is in use, the command
/soft2/Matlab/etc/lmstat -A -c /soft2/Matlab/etc/license.dat.schiller
shows the user of the schiller license.
