Hi,

        I am having trouble reading the following image files into octave.
Here is the error message I got:

octave:4> load Image1.mat
error: load: Image1.mat: inconsistent number of columns near line 2
error: load: unable to extract matrix size from file `Image1.mat'


octave:4> load -mat-binary Image1.mat
error: load: can't read binary file
error: load: trouble reading binary file `Image1.mat'
        
        Would somebody please help? Thanks in advance.

Jack
