Re: ss2sys not being updated?

[A S Hodel]

Use cell arrays instead; I recently updated the controls toolbox to use 
cell arrays instead
of lists because, as the warning says, lists are deprecated.

With the current CVS sources, here's what I get:

octave:4> sys = ss2sys(a,b,c,[],0,3,0,list("volts","amps","joules"));
warning: list objects are deprecated; use cell arrays instead
warning: ss2sys is deprecated.  Use ss() instead.
error: invalid: a is 1x1, n=3, nz=0
error: evaluating if command near line 240, column 3
error: called from `ss' in file 
`/usr/local/share/octave/2.1.55/m/control/system/ss.m'
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 189, column 10
error: called from `ss2sys' in file 
`/usr/local/share/octave/2.1.55/m/control/system/ss2sys.m'
error: evaluating assignment expression near line 4, column 5

That should be what you get with 2.1.57.
