RE: octave workshop

[Roy Menachem]

Hi,
I m working on windows 7 with octave 3.2.4 and i need to read xlsx file with 
multiple worksheets (not csv file), I have installed 2 packages:
 pkg install io-1.0.15.tar.gz
and
pkg install windows-1.1.0.tar.gz

After installing the io package I got the message:
dependencies where unsatisfied: io needs octave >=3.4.0

What else should I do to be able to work on xlsx files with the xls functions?

Thanks
Roy

Unfortunately, Octave Workshop is ancient, incomplete, buggy, abandoned, and 
unmaintained. I'm amazed you can still find a place to download it.

We are working on a new GUI for Octave. In the meantime, if a terminal really 
scares you too much, you can wrap the terminal with icons and menus with 
QtOctave (which is also abandoned, but less ancient).

My own recommendation is to get a decent text editor (e.g. Notepad++) and you 
read the Octave manual here:

    http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/

While we are working on a GUI, reading the manual will be more helpful to you 
right now than "File Edit Help" menus.

HTH,
