  Hello,

  I have just ported to octave 2.1.14 some utilities :

cmpany(x,y)       # returns one if x and y are the same object. Should
                  #  work for matrices, strings, structs and
                  #  lists. Should work with 2.0.14.

s = any2str( x )  # Writes the object x as a string
y = eval(s)
cmpany(x,y)       # Should be 1 


                  # Write to myfilename.m the variables x,y,...

any2m('myfilename',x,y,...)
clear x y ...
                  # x,y ... should be as before they were cleared
eval('myfilename') 

  Shall I post them here ? There is a small test suite too.

  Etienne
