Re: Octave workshop for Octave 3.0.0 on windows Xp

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

I think that QtOctave is useful for GUI lovers.
Fortunately window version with MSVC-octave

https://forja.rediris.es/frs/?group_id=60&release_id=298

and download
qtoctave0.7.2_octave3.0.0_Portable_win32.zip

I mirror it on my web.
