Dear Karsten

The previous responses to your question already mentioned a few things that 
were not completely clear about your inquiry. Since the footer of your message 
seems to imply that you're a business person rather than a computer whizz I 
suspect you maybe just want to run some Matlab code in Octave, and you're 
asking if and how this is possible. If this is what your're after, then Octave 
is certainly for you. Octave is highly compatible with Matlab, and many Matlab 
programs (scripts, functions) run in Octave without any modification at all. 
Those programs that don't run out of the box usually only require trivial 
changes to make them work as intended.

Matthias
