octave

[juan kuo lin]

Hi,

I'm the course instructor for 18.443 Statistics for Applications.
I assign numerical homeworks to be done in Matlab, however, I've
received requests from students to use alternative shareware 
packages that the students can run from their own computer.

Octave came to mind.  Unfortunately, I'm having difficulty reading 
in matlab binary files from octave.  The version I have on my own
computer is Octave 2.0.13.

Octave is supposed to be able to read matlab binary file, but
it doesn't seem to work.  Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Juan
