Hi Steffen,

i just received your mail to bug-octave.

The setup scripts is only for installation of the binary distribution! The
archive OCTA200S.ZIP is the source code, you must compile it. Anyway it should
not remove the 'C:\OS2\DLL'. Could please send me your old config.sys (not
parts of it!), so that i can correct the bug. Thanks!

You must do the following to install:

You need the binary distribution OCTA200B.ZIP. Unzip it into the directory you
want to install it and run setup. Control the changes setup has done and
reboot if necessary.

If you want to compile it, you need OCTA200S.ZIP. Unzip it, change to the
directory, you unzipped the source code in, and execute 'make -f makefile.os2'.

Tschuess,
Klaus Gebhardt [TEAM OS/2]
