Althogh my .octaverc file has a `default_save_format = "mat-binary";'
line, it doesn't effect this problem. Because, 

octave:6> save -ascii a.mat a
error: save: wrong type argument `struct'
error: evaluating index expression near line 6, column 1
octave:6> save -binary some_data_file_name a
error: save: wrong type argument `struct'
error: evaluating index expression near line 6, column 1

also fails.

Can Octave save structure data in its original data format?
