I think it's a testament to its usefulness and well thought out
program design that, 12 years later, it is still keeping up with
Brand M -- better in many respects, IMHO -- and user interest shows
no sign of abating.  You've done a great job with it. Octave is really
a standout among the open source tools that I've used over the years,
and I've used quite a few.
