7)Restart Scilab
8)After restart it will print something like
BackDoor: listening to connections on TCP port 28020

Now you can start Octave and connect to Scilab with sci_connect function

Thank you this was very helpful.

I am on Ubuntu 15.10 and I found that item 5) could not be done in that order. 

It was done automatically for me when I did 6) 

So now it makes a connection :-)

I next tried the example that was in your pkg and it ran to the point of opening the .mat file.

Here it gave an error message:

error: load: unable to determine file format of 'sci_vars_transfer.mat'

With a little bit of debugging I found the the .mat file was empty.

So at line 35 in sci_getvar.m you have:

   cmd=sprintf('\\savematfile(''sci_vars_transfer.mat'',%s,''-v7'');\n',arglist);

    send(sci_sim_client,cmd);

This results in an empty .mat file.

What can I do to further help you to get this working.

I have used scilab before and have some files that do transmission line reflection demos

that I want to get going from Octave.

I see now that I am trying to run a file in Scilab, that doesn't exist.

Could you make a complete demo that works please.
