At present there is no way to talk to directly to AquaTerm from octave, but one could either use PGPLOT -> AquaTerm or write a small .oct file that does the trick (Frankly, I havn't looked into the .oct solution but I see no obvious obstacles). /Per On onsdag, februari 13, 2002, at 03:38 , Michael W.
