Re: Octave review

[bharat]

More feathers will be added to the review if some benchmark
data is available. Like speed of execution, ease of use,
learning curve etc. I am planning to benchmark Matlab, Octave,
Scilab and Python for Signal Processing Application. If anyone
wishes to include any other free s/w in this benchmark comparison
please let me know. My email Id is address@hidden, also if
some prior benchmark data is available then please let me know.
