Sexist ? ? ?

I haven't seen any content indicative of gender at all :-(

Personally, I would not have known you were a woman if you hadn't  
implied it above.

hmmm, ... I'll suggest that insulting others is a poor strategy to  
correct what you interpret as insults.

Personally, I find the implication that this board is unfriendly to  
women objectionable :-(

I understand that frustrations can be encountered when participating  
on these boards or when soliciting help, but you might want to  
consider that insults will not encourage individuals to volunteer  
their time to this project, nor will such encourage individuals to  
help when you solve your problem.

In any event, perhaps it is best to focus on your problem :-)

I did try to take a look at your problem. However, it appears several  
functions are still missing.

        voltseoct_cabunpa5

        gatpara2oct

        compactdiffcaboct

        tridiagdoubleoct

        ionactoct

        timedepcabactoct

Were these included in an email off-list?

In any event, helping you would be simplified if you can attach all  
files needed to reproduce your error.

I recommend you try

(1) Create an empty directory and place the files you think are needed  
in it.
(2) type "restoredefaultpath" and then try to run "cabunbact2oct"
(3) When you encounter the error in question zip up the folder and  
attach it in an email to this list.
