Upon completion Gnu Octave should have no problem (extending compatibility with Matlab) when running the toolboxes by Higham, and should also have a reliable working funm based on the Schur-Parlett algorithms, that calls to specific matrix functions if these have an instance of their own. | ||

I order to fulfill it I will have to refresh my C++ knowledge by becoming familiar with the source tree, and get used to mercurial (hg), the version control system used to manage Gnu Octave. | ||
