There are two of us developing application in Octave. We seem to be getting
different behavior. Still trying to figure out what the differences are.
Both of us are running Octave 3.2.4. Once I have run more tests, I will be
able to post more info.


>>xlswrite ("c:\test3.xls", a, 'poi')
>>or
>>
xlswrite ("c:\test3.xls", a, 'jxl')
>>

Will give these a try to see if behavior changes.

The array a is just a = [1,1]

I am running under windows. I will try the \ instead of /

(Is the Excel file OK?)

The Excel file is ok and contains the data I tried to output.
