Eike,

The routine dmperm is a sparse matrix routine, so it is relatively new to
octave. It exists and works in my octave-2.9.7, which was built from the
source code at octave.org. My "help dmperm" also works. Because it depends
on the sparse matrix libraries, I doubt that it can be easily adapted to
octave-2.1.x.
