Hi Philip,

I recently installed Octave 3.8 to use it as a substitute to
Matlab. Since my object is to evaluate numerical data gathered
from excel documents I installed the io-package, which I seemed
to manage, see attached file.

But I can't use the function for reading numerical data from the
excel spreadsheets (xlsread, etc.). Isn't the ii-package supporting
Octave 3.8 yet?

The io package need Java for reading and writing. Only .xlsx (not .xls!), .ods and .gnumeric can be read (not writing!) without Java. But this is still a bit experimental. http://wiki.octave.org/IO_package#OCT_interface
