Re: matlab vs octave

[A Scottedward Hodel]

Octave does not support the Matlab 5 cell data structure.
Octave (2.1.x versions) has a "list" data structure, which is a
one-dimensional data type similar in nature to cells, although
notation is different.

These scripts will need to be rewritten in order to work in
Octave.
