[Scilab-users] Confusion between Scilab and Scicoslab

[Claus Futtrup]

Dear Pradeem

I don't that much about it - so maybe others can correct my mistakes - 
but here's what I believe is true about your first question:

Scicoslab is built on top of Scilab (v4). It is the predecessor to Xcos.

AFAIK, Scilab v4 and Scicoslab is still maintained by people at INRIA.

Xcos and Scicoslab are similar, but not compatible.

Best regards,
Claus
