I've updated Octave on Athena to 2.9.9. Octave is a numerical,
matrix-based computation system with an internal scripting
language. Is is similar to but not an exact clone of Matlab. From my
message to users:
Octave on Athena has been updated to 2.9.9. This is a development release
but should be fairly stable; some things may not work. This version is the
one currently being supplied by most major Linux distributions. Octave-forge
2006.07.09 is included in the installation.
For documentation, see:

or type "help" or "doc" at the Octave > prompt.

To run it now:
add octave
octave -ver 2.9.9
We don't plan to make this version the default until IAP 2007.
