From help-octave-request at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Wed Dec 6 15:10:16 2000 Subject: Improved? FAQ (Was: Philosophy help.) From: Amie Tara Neff To: help-octave at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Date: Wed, 06 Dec 2000 22:06:43 -0700 Easy to start a flame war around here. I thought it was clear that I wasn't trying to complain. Anyway, here's what I've learned; (1) Octave is not a matlab clone. (2) For large projects it's probably not a good idea to have code that tries to run both in Octave and Matlab. (3) For the foolhardy who are doggedly determined to do this anyway, Paul Kienzle has some software at http://users.powernet.co.uk/kienzle/octave To make this ironclad flameproof let me add that all three of these points make sense after reading John's replies. However, I believe it would be helpful for others less familiar with Octave internals to have this information in the FAQ section on porting from Matlab. I will take a stab at this myself and post the results.
