Re: Windows Package

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

The windows octave-forge package does not auto-loaded at the start-up because 
it causes 'clear all'
crash.  

Please see

http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/files/Octave_Windows%20-%20MinGW/Octave%203.2.4%20for%20Windows%20MinGW32%20Installer/RELEASE_NOTES-3.2.4.txt/download

Regards

Tatsuro
