I Andrew> don't think the MATLAB language is worth preserving. I strongly disagree--compatibility with MATLAB is the major advantage of Octave w.r.t. SciLab, RLab, etc. I regularly share Octave code with people using MATLAB, and I would think that I am not the only one. The language might be less than ideal, but it has been used by many people and is a de-facto standard. One of the reasons I like Guile is the use of a standard language. Don't we have enough little (and not so little) languages? regards Roland
