I know nothing about VB (and I do not run Windows).

But since Matlab is an executable file run as a separate process with command 
line arguments and since Octave is an executable file run as a separate process 
with command line arguments, what is the _conceptual_ difference between the 
two regardless of OS/language from which either of the two is to be invoked ?

I.e. what is your question exactly ?
