(I have not come across any data analysis package that can read Matlab files.)
According to the Splus 2000 Programmer's guide (P 95), that software can read a Matlab file containing a single matrix. I have never used this and the documentation does not provide many details. The suggestion is that the file is binary representation, but it is possible that it has to be an ASCII dump or some suitably engineered output from Matlab. The StatDataML approach that Torsten mentioned would be good to have implemented so that StatDataML can become a useful "standard". D.
