You can get it for Win95/NT at various places including ftp://ftp.cs.washington.edu/pub/ntemacs/utilities/i386/ Heber Farnsworth -----Original Message----- From: Richard Davis [mailto:rjdv75 at earthlink dot net] Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2000 8:04 PM To: help-octave at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Cc: mmarston at paccrst dot com Subject: Trouble Downloading I have twice downloaded the "octave-latest_tar.tar" file from the site specified, but WinZip won't open the file. I get an error message: "error processing directory after 0 entries" followed by another: "invalid archive file". Haven't done anything else to follow-up... but should I be using some other de-archiving program? ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Octave is freely available under the terms of the GNU GPL.
