You can find instructions on obtaining a copy of the developer's  
sources below.

        http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/download.html

Regarding the manual, it is automatically generated from the sources.  
One of the developers (Søren) has made a recent copy available on the  
web (I believe it is experimental and a work in progress).

You'll find the OOP part at the link below.
