Tom, I figured this might be of general applicability. I tried the install on NT 4.0 (logged in as Administrator) and it wouldn't complete. Is this really Octave for Win9x or Win32 generally? Installation was somewhat opaque so the forensics will not be perfect but octave.bat was empty after running install suggesting that setup.bat did not run properly. I tried running setup with "C:\Program Files\Octave", the install location as the command line parameter. In addition to sed and tar erroring out because they were not installed, a number of references were made to /usr/local/share/octave/2.1.31/m/startup/octaverc that were problematic ('No such file or directory' and they weren't created either). I applaud the effort and would like to see it continue because I have a couple of folks that I would like to get to use Octave (not to mention the updating of my binaries to 2.1.31 from the 2.0.13 on the Octave web site). Unfortunately, they won't until it's easy enough. Any chance this could get fixed? -Rocky "Tom Weichmann" @bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu on 08/30/2000 01:08:37 AM Please respond to tomcw at localnet dot com Sent by: help-octave-request at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu To: help-octave at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu cc: Subject: ANNOUNCE-New Octave for Win32 There is a new version of octave for win32 now available at : http://tech-research.buffalostate.edu/~tom/index.html.
