Hi, A member of my team has already done some work on that subject. You can find a patch at againts an octave-2.1.7 version. The patch also include modifications to allow octave to be compiled with egcs-1.1.1 (posted by John Eaton). Besides is_list, list_remove, list_add and list_append, obsoleted by latter octave versions (2.1.10 and later), one can save/load deep and recursive lists and structures in ASCII or binary. Try it... and make a patch against 2.1.10 (2.1.12 lists are broken). Joao -- Joao Cardoso | e-mail: jcardoso at inescn dot pt INESC, R.
