===Installation of the Octave package===
===Notes===
*Read readme.txt in Octave3.4.2_gcc4.5.2_20110914.7z
For details, please see http://old.nabble.com/Octave-3.4.2-mingw-%2B-octaveforge-pkgs-to32394771.html
*Unzip to a directory which doesn't have space chars i.e. <code>C:\Octave\Octave3.4.2_gcc4.5.2\</code> keeping the directory structure in the archive.
*Copy octave.lnk to any convenient location and edit its properties respectively to point to octave.exe and octave.ico.
 
===Installation of the Octave-forge packages===
*Read <code>Octave3.4.2_gcc4.5.2_pkgs_readme.txt</code>, <code>Octave3.4.2_gcc4.5.2_pkgs_changes.txt</code> in <code>Octave3.4.2_gcc4.5.2_pkgs_20110914.7z</code>.
*In order to update octave_packages database and auto-load most packages (excluding 'ad' and 'windows' which may crash octave when loaded and 'clear all' is executed), launch Octave and execute:
 
        pkg rebuild -auto
        pkg rebuild -noauto ad windows


*You can adjust your installed packages status per your specific needs and usage by executing one of the following commands:
Upon launching, some warnings may be displayed. The following warnings can be ignored:
*To interactively load or unload a package
*Following warning is about interpretation of logical operators (on scalars) in octave which is slightly different than matlab's interpretation.
        pkg load <pkg_name>
warning: C:\Octave\Octave3.4.2_gcc4.5.2\share\octave\packages\integration-1.0.7\PKG_ADD: possible Matlab-style
        pkg unload <pkg_name>
short-circuit operator at line 9, column 32
*To disable auto-load for specific pkg <pkg_name>
*Following warnings are about missing external tools which may reduce some of the functions of some packages. These external tools are not provided by the 7z archives in sourceforge.
        pkg rebuild -noauto <pkg_name>
warning: gmsh does not seem to be present some functionalities will be disabled
*To enable auto-load for specific pkg <pkg_name>
warning: dx does not seem to be present some functionalities will be disabled
        pkg rebuild -auto <pkg_name>
*Following warning is about fstat function of the statistics package that overloads the old (to be deprecated) fstat function of octave-3.4.3
*To completely uninstall a package
warning: function C:\Octave\Octave3.4.2_gcc4.5.2\share\octave\packages\statistics-1.0.10\fstat.m shadows a core library
        pkg uninstall <pkg_name>     


===Notes===
*For details, please see http://old.nabble.com/Octave-3.4.2-mingw-%2B-octaveforge-pkgs-to32394771.html
*This archive doesn't contain any editor! In order to install Notepad++ (recommended) as an editor:
**download the installation package from http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
**install, edit <code><your octave dir>\share\octave\site\m\startup\octaverc</code>
**un-comment the line which sets octave default editor:
    EDITOR('C:\\Program Files\\Notepad++\\notepad++.exe');
