   I made a patch for octave-1.0 to enhance the octave compatibility
   to matlab concerning raw file i/o including document patches. This
   patch wa[s] delivered to jwe without getting an answer. Also I made 
   such a patch for octave-1.1.0 and octave-1.1.1, but delivering it to
   jwe was without success. 

The ability to use the matlab

  image = fread(fid, [height, width], 'uchar')';

would be welcomed. For example, this makes it easy to read raw (P5) 
graymap files.
