In reply to your other message, I suspect the bit width of your Java and of 
your Octave installations don't match. A 64-bit Octave can only work with a
64 bit Java, similar for 32-bit versions.
I'll try to adapt the io package's error / warning messages to draw attention 
to that, as far as practically feasible.

Tonight I have further time to investigate.

Philip

Hi Phillip

Just got back to my PC, I'll attend to your requests later and report back.
