Re: Octave 3.4.2 for Windows and installer

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Hello

Using octave-3.4.2.bat, I could install image-1.0.14 package.

octave:4> pkg list
Package Name   | Version | Installation directory
---------------+---------+-----------------------
        image *|  1.0.14 | C:\octave\3.4.2\share\octave\packages\image-1.0.14
miscellaneous *|  1.0.11 | ...\3.4.2\share\octave\packages\miscellaneous-1.0.11
       odepkg *|   0.8.0 | C:\octave\3.4.2\share\octave\packages\odepkg-0.8.0

Regards

Tatsuro
