It's true that installing Octave on Windows 95/NT systems is not
trivial, and it is unfortunate that even once you do have it
installed, graphics don't work unless you do even more work.  There is
a possibility that someone will provide some funding to improve this
situation.  It is also possible that a volunteer will step forward and
do the work (but so far, no one has done so).

For now though, what is available from the Octave web site is the best
attempt so far at making the installation process for Windows 95/NT
systems work.  There is no `older and simpler version' that works on
Windows 95/NT systems.
