Hi John,

A related question. Say I have written an octave code that among other
octave functions, it uses sundials for DAE's (the code is a collection
of many .m files). I would like to provide a dynamic linked function to
a matlab user to call my code (that is I would like to distribute a
closed source library). Is this possible to be done through a mex file
approach? In this case does it mean I would have to write a c++ or c
code wherein all octave functions I use in my octave code will have to
be called in the c++ code via a mexCallMATLAB?

Are there other options?

Thanks,
