Bug report on repmat.m in
http://users.powernet.co.uk/kienzle/octave/matcompat-2001.02.25.tar.gz
and in 
http://users.powernet.co.uk/kienzle/octave/matcompat/scripts/general/repmat.m


Description:
-------------
isscalar is not part of the standard octave distribution. 

Repeat by:
----------
octave:14> repmat(10,[1,3])
error: `isscalar' undefined near line 34 column 8
error: evaluating index expression near line 34, column 8
error: if: error evaluating conditional expression
error: evaluating if command near line 34, column 5
error: evaluating if command near line 33, column 3
error: called from `repmat' in file 
`.../matcompat/general/repmat.m'


Solution:
-----------
isscalar should be replaced by is_scalar.

BTW: I'd suggest to include repmat.m into the standard Octave distribution
e.g. to /octave/2.1.35/m/general/repmat.m
