Re: Conversion from uint8 to char fails

[Judd Storrs]

Thank you,

I'd like to start helping out around here. I figure a good place to start is by writing test cases. Is there an existing mechanism for running test cases in Matlab as well as octave? Would being able to run the subset of the test-suite in Matlab be useful?

I checked in the following change:

BTW, the list name address@hidden is just an alias for
address@hidden.  There's no need to send your message to
both addresses.
