RE: User Function

[Peter Gawthrop]

Hi Octavers,

I agree that octave.sourceforge.net would be the ideal place for a
repository. 

But we should avoid proliferation of such repositories and so I draw your
attention to
sourceforge.net/projects/matlinks/
Perhaps the owners of that site should be involved in some way?

Best wishes,

        Peter.
