Andreas,
In the examples in your previous mail didn't you misplace some  
parentheses?

shouldn't this be:

if ~exist('findobj'), dispatch('findobj', strcat(pwd,'/octavefun/ 
findobj.m'), 'any'), end;

?

BTW, I thought you could simplify your code by taking advantage of  
the workings of the package manager:

define octavefun/fake_oct_fun.m:

function ret = fake_oct_fun(varargin)
ret = 1;
end

and put all of your dispatch commands in PKG_ADD,
you could do it in three lines this way:

missing_fun_list ={'findobj','gcf','gca'};
for ii=1:length
	if ~exist(missing_fun_list{ii}), dispatch(missing_fun_list 
{ii},"fake_oct_fun",'any')), end;
end


when you add octavefun to your path octave will
execute the commands in PKG_ADD, while matlab will ignore it.
David, is this too much of a dirty trick?
Would it work at all?
