RE: Vector Projection .m file

[Erickson, David]

Thanks Doug;

I'm not worried about it either way, again it's a time waster to clean 
something up as you know. I won't be offended either way I will offer things up 
and that satisfies the obligations as my employer has no interest in 
"conveying" (to use GPL3 lingo) modified versions of Octave.

Best of luck,

Dave

Hello;

Thanks for the feedback.  I offered it based on the licence agreement, not 
based on relative value. Rules are rules.

As for your argument about the diminshed nature of certain mathematical 
functions, I agree. I can almost hear your smug pompousness. Why not get rid of 
acosh and atanh as well?  Given the fact no one uses those either....

Here are the facts: it's well written, well documented and small. Bigger 
functions are built on smaller ones no matter how superior or inferior you 
personally believe it's worth. Maybe you should read Eric Scott Raymond?   If 
you don't want it, fine, I won't waste my time offering to help it's not my job.

I'll interpret this as Octave is disinterested in code offered up that improves 
the base despite the licence terms. So I won't worry about putting more useful 
functions into good order.

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Dave.

  I certainly  want it, and I am sure others will too. The only question is 
where to put it. A student is working on a solution to this and it should be 
ready by the end of the summer.

 Thank you very much for contributing this.
