Hi,

That's new bug report. I will fix it. Thanks.

I assume this hapens while unzipping the scripts. I will modifiy this.
Thanks again.

I thought i had fixed this. Could you please send your original config.sys
to address@hidden, so that i can fix this.

This script is far from being perfect, but it helped some Users alot. I can
test the script on only three machines, so there are still bugs unknown.

Maybe the .octave_hist file is missing.

The correct place is 'octave\scripts\startup\'. And you should also have
a file .octaverc in your home directory. Is the environment variable
OCTAVE_HOME set?

Glad to hear and a again thanks for your bug reports and suggestions. I will
include them in the next build.
