Allan,

Many routines that exist in MATLAB have an equivalent "work alike" in octave
or octave-forge, but some do not. If you don't have octave-forge installed,
you probably need it, that's more or less the equivalent to the "Tool
Boxes."

When I run across a MATLAB routine that octave doesn't recognize, I go to
the on-line MathWorks help files to see what the routine does, then I look
through the octave combined index at

http://octave.sourceforge.net/index/index.html

to find an equivalent. Seldom am I disappointed.

Joe
