Re: Octave with eclipse

Hi Nick:

I am attempting to use the Fuzzy Logic Toolkit which requires a bunch of cd's to get to the Fuzzy-Logic-Toolkit package, maybe 8 or 10 cd's. It's really not a big deal, I guess, and I suppose I have been spoiled by years of Mac and Windows use, so it's a pain for me to go back to the DOS-like command method to do stuff. And perhaps since I haven't been doing any or much Command Prompt work, I don't know of any shortcuts that may be (?) available. I'll take a look and see if I can find any shortcuts that would help, but I hate to learn any more Command Prompt shortcuts, or whatever. Every time I use the Command Prompt, I have to look up to find out the commands, such as copying text from the CP page, doing the cd's to get to the desired page, etc.

My only work with Matlab was with their "IDE" that looks a lot like Octclipse and I am not familiar with using the Command Prompt interface with MatLab. The MatLab that I used at my last job at LLNL provided an editor and I could run the programs from the "IDE." 

John

The developers are working on a GUI for Octave.  It is still too buggy for normal use, but that is the long term solution for those who find the command line version "awkward".

John, also, curious which aspects of using Octave through the command line are awkward, since Matlab commands are also primarily used through a command prompt interface. The 'desktop' has added extra things around the command prompt, but which do you 'miss the most'? We have different people used to different things, and it's useful to hear opinions on what aspects you see as lacking.
