I got to the lab and tried this. Installation was every smooth.
I was able to launch octave.exe from a the command prompt in Windows NT
from the installation on my flash drive.
However, there is a problem with the interface to Emacs. I am using
GNU Emacs 22.0.990.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
of 2007-05-20 on NEUTRINO
M-x run-octave hangs emacs with emacs and octave showing in the NT process
list.
Launching Octave from M-x shell or M-x eshell launches Octave. Octave
appears to work, I can type in simple examples, but there is no prompt.
Presumably the problem with the octave inferior process mode is that Emacs
never gets the prompt it is waiting for.
