Thank you very much for your answer.

How can I get the dynamic loading support?  Do you have the support?

Is there something else than the compiled .oct file?  I placed the 
compiled .oct file in the current working dir or in a Octave path,
but either way gave the above error messages.

Octave 2.0.13 was installed manually over an old Octave, but I think 
DLL files came with Octave were installed correctly.  I got the
following 'which' result that implies all Octave DLL files are found 
in LIBPATH of OS/2:

D:\math\octave\dlfcn\examples>which -las oct* cr*
   1: 21:26:18 05/31/98     19597  d:\math\octave\dll\oct-img.dll
   2: 21:26:22 05/31/98   1758096  d:\math\octave\dll\octave1.dll
   3: 21:26:22 05/31/98    748680  d:\math\octave\dll\octave2.dll

   1: 14:37:32 09/11/95    118832  f:\ibmworks\crt.dll

   4: 21:26:18 05/31/98    196636  d:\math\octave\dll\cruft2.dll
   5: 21:26:18 05/31/98     95858  d:\math\octave\dll\cruft3.dll
   6: 21:26:18 05/31/98    505727  d:\math\octave\dll\cruft4.dll

Could anybody give any more hint?

Thanks a lot.
