But if you have it, you probably paid for it and than it's yours and you can do with it what you want (I think). Yes I used matlab #.m files in octave. Just try it. Maybe it doesn't work, so you have to modify it a little. Graphicommands make problems normally. GUI won't work at all. Maybe you probably step into a kind of nesting, which means this m-file requires other m-files, which themself require other m-files ..... . Just look at your path in matlab and expand your octave path to that one. Than try to ran that stuff. Maybe a few matlab builtin functions and features are missing. You can try to fix these by writing some m-files expanding octaves feature to matlab compatibility and put them in a directory like "matlab_emu". Well that is what I did. The effort you have with it depends what m-files you want to use. Anyway I use matlab too. :-) Bye -- Mit freundlichen Gruessen Daniel Heiserer ----- -------------------------------------------------------------- Dipl.-Phys.
