Why have you chosen this site to look at the Octave manual? The
Octave web pages are at www.octave.org. Random pages on the net have
a tendency to be out of date...

Yes. :-)
There may have once been an interface to NPSOL, but it is not
currently a part of Octave.

Someone is already working on this but I haven't heard about the
status for about a month now.

Yes.
