to be compatible with Matlab (I tried with 7.2) as well, this has to
be modified into

function in = isoctave ()
 persistent inout;

 if isempty(inout),
   inout = exist('OCTAVE_VERSION','builtin') ~= 0;
 end;
 in = inout;

return;
    

Damn, yes.. The assignment in the persistent statement is an octave only
thing.. Missed that.. The form you have is the best way..

Thanks guys, this is perfect. I suppose it would be vulnerable to "attack" if Mathworks were to decide to randomly include that variable/file/function somewhere in the default install. But I'm not to worried about that.
