Hi,

I tryed to install Octave using the windows install routine octave-...25d.exe 
(7.541.480 k). But it does not work. The simultaneuos installed GNUplot works.
I choosed the directory D:\OCTAVE and looked at the automaticly created file 
octave.bat; this is the content:

----------octave.bat
 at echo off
:: ..generated by GNU Octave setup.bat
if not exist \tmp\nul mkdir \tmp
"119 03.10.01 9:10 Directory.bat\bin\bash" --login start
rd \tmp
----------

I changed it to:

----------octave1.bat
 at echo off
D:\octave\bin\bash --login start
----------

This is START: it looks to me like a LINUX-Version ??


----------
#!/bin/sh
rxvt -fn "Courier New-14" -tn linux -title "GNU Octave 2.1.31" -n "GNU Octave" 
+sr -sl 1000 -e octave
----------

Who can help?

Best whishes

Wolfgang Lindner
