Is there a simple way to get the octave-forge packages included in this
as well?  Or if not, do you plan to include it in the future?

It is just that next fall I plan to teach a course which involves
solving ODE's, and I would prefer to use ode45 than lsode so that Matlab
users and Octave users get the same experience.  I won't defend against
lsode probably having a superior algorithm than ode45.  But I will only
be solving really simple equations anyway.

Maybe octave-forge is included in the menus, but I don't know Spanish.
It is still very easy to use even if one doesn't know Spanish, but I
could be missing some of its finer points.

Thanks, Stephen
