Re: Toolboxes

[Michael Creel]

Which function were you using? If it was bfgs.m, which to my knowledge is the 
only optimization function that has disappeared, that was replaced a while 
ago by bfgsmin.cc, which compiles to bfgsmin.oct. This _does_ work on 
Windows, at least with the version of Octave for Windows that I tried out. If 
you would like the old bfgs.m file, you can get it from 
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/octave/octave-forge/main/optim/bfgs.m?rev=1.11&view=log
by selecting version 1.10.
