Re: Pre-compiled octave for Windows

[Shai Ayal]

I think the natural place for it is on octave-forge, which also has
some other precompiled binaries for windows.
However if this is problem I can always put it in the octplot site
although it's not really "natural" since it doesn't even include
octplot (didn't port so well ...)
