% Eight m-files came from octave-forge, there was a problem with the
spelling of "gauleg.m" and matlam.m required a slight modification because
%error: number of columns must match (4 != 1). Thanks to P. Kienzle I got
past the fnval.m hurdle.

%The main "program" is lambda.m and it now runs to completion using Octave.
The plots seem to produce the correct results but I still need to work on
the graphs using commands that I understand. Surprisingly, Octave/Gnuplot
could handle most of the commands that were used to produce 2 plots with 4
subplots each (in the program for use with Matlab).

%There is however one minor problem I have not yet resolved  and I bet there
is an easy answer. I'm now getting results that are "printed" to the screen
(because the program runs to completion), including a 150x150 matrix and a
150x1 vector.  I don't know how to get rid of this  because I don't where
the corresponding statements are. They are certainly not *at the end* of the
main program and that's where these variables (grow-rates, *kmat*, and
*mshpts*) are calculated. Or perhaps the question is how do I suppress some
or all of the output of the main program:
*** local user variables:
