Maximum entropy is one of the optimization methods available for use in
the principal component analysis carried out by xgobi.  Xgobi is a
"free" program developed at Bellcore/ATT, available by ftp:  connect to
lib.stat.cmu.edu, log in giving statlib as your name and your email
address as your password, and I believe the sources are in .../general.

Xgobi is an extremely useful data visualization and analysis package.
Runs under X (obviously, :-).  Compiles smoothly on Sun and SGI machines,
and I imagine comes up just as easily on other platforms.  Lots of goodies.
Almost too good to be true.  For the price (:-) it's certainly worth a try.
