Re: load

[Vincent Stanford]

Dear Dave,

I don't know if this is what you need, but here is what I did:
function computePDFs

...

This reads the file SoundCheck.22k from the directory that I am running
the emacs session with the inferior octave mode ession.  The file is just
a bunch of shorts (int16), and gets turned into the usual double array.
Guess you could put in a fully qualified file name if you don't want to
read from the session directory.  Hope this helps.
