I am afraid I typed too soon.  I was thinking of the code that goes with
another book by Professor Strang, Linear Algebra, Geodesy
and GPS.  The code for that book is available at: 

http://www.i4.auc.dk/borre/matlab

Your comments are, nevertheless, equally appropriate regarding either
set of code.  Sadly I no longer have the changes I made.  I'd be happy
to look again at either set of m-files and see whether the matlab code runs
as expected under octave.  As I recall, the changes I made were truly
trivial.  I'll repost if I turn something up.

Yours,

Streph
