Same script for octave/matlab

[Ketil Froyn]

Hi.
I use octave at home and matlab at my university. What I would like to
know is if I can somehow differentiate between matlab and octave from a .m
file, eg:

------
x=0:0.1:2*pi;
y=sin(x);

if (THIS_IS_MATLAB)
  plot(x,y);
  print output.eps;
elseif (THIS_IS_OCTAVE)
  gset terminal postscript eps
  gset output "output.eps"
  plot(x,y);
  gset terminal x11
  gset output
endif
------

This also brings me on to another question. Is there some way I can check
what terminal and output are, so that they can be changed back correctly?

And finally, (and probably most importantly), has someone made a function
like print for octave? Is it possible to take whatever is in the gnuplot
window and output that to a postscript file without calling plot again?

Sorry if all this is old stuff, but I couldn't find a search function for
the archive. I looked through some of the 1999 archive, but didn't find
anything.
