| Spotfire | For info: http://www.spotfire.com/
Licensed software: Installed in HCIL1(3174) in the PCs called: Denali, Glacier, Point Lookout, Yosemite and Bigbasin (they all have a Spotfire mouse pad!) REMEMBER: you do not have priority access to those PCs! You can also download a mini demo version from the spotfire website to try it (no save though...) We do have a 3 y.o. Java tool called Stardom that does the basic functions of spotfire and can be used in your final project. For the code: ask Jean-Daniel Fekete. For reference: here is the old classic demo of the HomeFinder
