Kind Attention sir..

[Sengupta Sourav]

Sir,

As you have said i've made the file
/home/sourav/.octaverc and in that i've put the single
line..
LOADPATH=["/home/sourav/octave-2.0.16//:", LOADPATH];

now, i've also copied all the functions previously in
/root/matcompat/ to /home/sourav/octave-2.0.16/ as
that is the name of my octave directory.

Now when i say debugf 
(located in /home/sourav/octave-2.0.16/) i get the
following error message..

octave:1> debugf 
wavread is the file:
/home/sourav/octave-2.0.16/wavread.m

(ERROR IS:)

 WAVREAD  Load Microsoft Windows .WAV format sound
files.

  [sig, sf, bits] = wavread(wavfile [, siz])
   
        sig : signal
         sf : sampling freq.
       bits : the number of bits per sample
    wavfile : file name 
              (The ".wav" extension is appended if no
extension is given
        siz : 'size' returns the size of the audio
data
            : [N1 N2] returns only samples N1 through
N2
