1. Contributed functions for GNU Octave from http://octave.sf.net The octave-forge project contains over 300 contributed functions for GNU Octave which are not in the main distribution. These functions are grouped according to the following subdirectories: audio, comm, control, general, geometry, ident, image, linear-algebra, optim, path, plot, set, signal, sparse, specfun, special-matrix, splines, statistics, strings, struct, time. While the main Octave distribution is conservative about accepting new functions and changes, octave-forge is very open. As a result, be prepared for some lower quality code and more rapidly changing interfaces to the functions in octave-forge. The octave-forge project is housed at http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/ The Debian octave-forge package replaces (and extends) the earlier octave-matcompat package. From Debian 3.0r0 APT
