I would like to run Octave from a DVD,

Following recent threads in the maintainer list on relocatable
octave, for example, it seems this may be possible. Is the Win32
binary posted by Michael Goffioul for testing this weekend capable
of being installed in this way?
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.
