I have tried a previous version of qtoctave recently, and I wanted to
thank the authors very much for what they have done and guven to the
people like me who want to move easily from matlab to octave and have
the users "feel at home".

I would like to have a packet created for ubuntu easy installation
(and at the ULB by the sysadmin) but I wont have have the time to make
it soon.

I"ll test the new qtoctave and I wonder if it answers John Eaton
remarks about the fact that it would be necessary that the editor used
in the IDE be fully aware of octave internal state.

Thanks,

Nicolas
