Parallel Computing MATLAB vs Octave

Hey Folks,
Simple question from a simple newb:

1) Does anyone know if a code written in MATLAB in parallel with heavy use of parallel functions like: spmd, parfor, labsend, labbroadcast, Composites, etc. could be run on Octave? Without having to change the ode ofcourse, unless they are very minor like function names and what not.

2) Also for the developers out there, I just wanted to note that "textscan" does not work exactly the way it does in MATLAB. Particularly if you want to read a file with say two matrices in it separated by a text (string) and you type:

textscan(fid,'%f %f %f %f %f %f')

to read the chart, it freking skips over the text and gobbles all the numbers up, and reaches the end of the file. Help/Remedy/Alternative Suggestions would be appreciated ;)
