Eaton" , help-octave@bevo.che.wisc.edu Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2000 14:31:16 -0800 (PST) One feature I could use that has NOTHING to do with GUI (which I agree belongs on the other list) would be a really good macro expansion facility, which would be a real convenience when scripting. I would want to be able to define multi-line macros with arguments. I would also want a conditional directives (like in the C preprocessor) and the ability to include other script files (like the C include statement). Any idea how hard this would be? Of course, maybe Octave already has something like this, and I'm just missing it... ========================== Kevin Straight University of Idaho www.uidaho.edu/~stra9456 ========================== ------------------------------------------------------------- Octave is freely available under the terms of the GNU GPL.
