By default, the line editing commands are similar to the -cursor movement commands used by GNU Emacs, and a vi-style line -editing interface is also available. At the end of each session, the -command history is saved, so that commands entered during previous -sessions are not lost. +This is a bug-fixing release.

You can help +make Octave more reliable by reporting any bugs you find to +bug-octave@bevo.che.wisc.edu. -The Octave distribution includes a 200+ page Texinfo manual. Access -to the complete text of the manual is available via the help command -at the Octave prompt. - -Two and three dimensional plotting is fully supported using gnuplot. +Octave is a high-level interactive language primarily intended for +numerical computations. It is mostly compatible with Matlab. -The underlying numerical solvers are currently standard Fortran ones -like Lapack, Odepack, Dassl, the Blas, etc., packaged in a library -of C++ classes. If possible, the Fortran subroutines are compiled -with the system's Fortran compiler, and called directly from the C++ -functions. If that's not possible, you can still compile Octave if -you have the free Fortran to C translator f2c. +Additional information is available on the WWW at -Octave is also free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it -under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the -Free Software Foundation. + http://www.che.wisc.edu/octave -- John W.
