I am new to octave to I need some hand-holding. The impression I > got from the mails was that sparse capability is in the experimental > verion 2.1.x of octave and not in the stable 2.0.14 version. Am I right? I've written sparse functions. Version 0.1 is at http://www.mondenet.com/~adler/octave. I've seen no bug reports on this version and several people seem to have tried it. The disadvantage is the cumbersome syntax and limitation to real matrices. I'm in the process of doing a complete re-write, initially aimed at 2.1.x (although I'll be making a 2.0 version - with slightly less functionality - as well). This version will use very Matlab compatible syntax. I'll be making a beta version (still no complex matrices) available real soon now. I just have testing and packaging to do, so if I find time this weekend, it'll be done. I'd be glad to have testers. ______________________________________________________________ Andy Adler, adler at mondenet dot com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Octave is freely available under the terms of the GNU GPL.
