Re: kolmogorov-Smirnov once again

[Quentin Spencer]

I also tried this on version 2.1.60 and it appears to work properly. If 
you're interested, I have put a newly updated set of binaries for octave 
and related programs compiled on Fedora Core 2 at 
http://www.ee.byu.edu/~qhs/octave/ . The progess of octave in the last 
two years has been such that the versions included with releases such as 
Fedora tend to get outdated quickly. It appears the upcoming Fedora Core 
3 will include version 2.1.57.

Regards,
Quentin
