  Hi All,

since

octave:8> help isunix
isunix is the user-defined function from the file
/homeætienne/progøctaveøctave-forgeøctave-forge/main/general/isunix.m

Always returns true.  If you are on a windows machine, be sure to
put an isunix.m which always returns false in your path.

and isunix returns 1 under the octave-2.1.50 cygwin package, am I
right to conclude that every user of that package who wants isunix to
answer correctly should modify that function?

  TIA,
 
  Etienne
