Hello,

Downloaded OCTAVE 1.1.1 some time ago, very nice "music".

We started a somehow similar project (which was a little bit sleepy during
the last months). You can find it at URL
		file://ftp.tu-ilmenau.de/pub/unix/math-prog/mecs
MECS, a Matlab Extension for Control Systems is a completely new command
interpreter for the MATLAB language which allows some additional, object-
oriented features like user defined data types, overloading of functions
and operators, default function parameters etc. However, it still needs
MATLAB itself as computation engine, which I consider to be not the
preferable way. May be, you'll find some of our ideas useful or you're
interested in joining the projects together.

What about having a Simulation tool with a GUI in OCTAVE? I just experimented
in this direction using Tcl /Tk, and it doesn't look bad. 

Suggestions, helps & criticisms are welcome.

Thanks.
