Problems with Octave for WinNT

[Bjoern Olsson]

>
>    Hello
>
> I have tried to install Octave on a WinNT PC.
> The installation seems to go OK (I followed the steps in the
> Install.Windows readme file).
> When I try to run Octave (in bash) i get the error message:
> "This program cannot be run in DOS mode."
> (The message appears after the octave script has called the octave.bin
> file)
>
> Is this a known problem with a simple solution ?
> Is there a good FAQ somewhere on the net ? (The one in the
> ftp://ftp.che.wisc.edu/pub/octave/BINARIES/gnu-win32/ library I don't
> think is up to date)
>
>
> I'm using the following software:
>
> WinNT 4.0 service pack 5

> ftp://ftp.che.wisc.edu/p
> b/octave/BINARIES/gnu-win32/octave-2.0.13-i386-pc-cygwin32.tar.gz
>
> ftp://ftp.che.wisc.edu/pub/octave/BINARIES/gnu-win32/usertools.exe
> (B19)
> and I get the same error messages after installing the
> cdk B20
>
> With hope about an advice...
