Re: 3.6.1 mingw binaries for testing

[tom yengst]

Jordi,

I downloaded GUI Octave for windows (version 1.5.4). It's a beautiful
interface. Simple, yet expandable to fit many users needs.

unfortunately, it didn't work with Octave 3.6.1.
It would take about 15 seconds for the GUI to "connect" to the octave
command prompt, which is OK with me. The troubling part was that I
could not enter any commands. The command window would display the
Octave preamble (etc. etc., show news, etc.) and would display a
command prompt, but typed text would only elicit a beep. Darn.

Tom
