+** About Scilab and Xcos
+
+Scilab is an easy-to-use, cross-platform, Free and Open Source
+numerical computational package with a matrix based programming
+language and a diverse inbuilt mathematical library.
+
+Xcos is a graphical dynamical system modeler and simulator. With Xcos
+the user can create block diagrams to model and simulate sophisticated
+dynamical systems such as those in signal processing, systems control,
+queuing systems, and to study physical, biological and various
+engineering systems.
