RE: Octave Compatibility with Matlab 2009

[Middendorf, John R Civ USAF AFRL/RYJT]

My apologies, I didn't really look that website over very closely to be
honest... just saw what it was labeled.  I've only been using Octave for
a couple months now myself.  From my experience, just about everything
I've done in Octave works virtually the same in MATLAB. Perhaps an up to
date website like that one isn't a bad idea.

This website is Octave 2.0 -- NOT CURRENT ANYMORE! (The files are from 
2001 in the directory listing.) 

Octave has almost all of the non-GUI functions that it lists as
 being absent.

I actually think having this website live without any explanation 
might be bad, except maybe to show how far octave has come 
since in the last nine years...

@John:  I don't mean to be a jerk -- I am sure you were trying 
to be helpful, but I would hate for people to think
 that Octave was so non-compatible.

@Quarto:  I think that basically Octave is compatible,
 except that it has NO gui, it uses old object oriented facilities, 
and there are a few odd functions like gallery() that are missing.
