Hi!

I've a problem running the win32 version (octave-windows-2000oct25c.exe)
from www.sourceforge.net/projects/matlinks (there is a link in
www.octave.org). 

Note:  I don't know if this is the right addres for reporting bus in the
Win32 version. If not, please forward this mail to the right one, and let
me know.

When running the installer under Windows 98 it seems to run fine, creates
the icons , etc. but when I try to run octave (by clicking the icons which
runs octave.bat)

I got the message: (in Spanish)

Comando o nombre de archivo incorrecto
Ruta no valida o no existe el directorio 
o el directorio esta lleno 

which means:

command or file name wrong
invalid path or file not found
or directory is full

As I think there should be some error in octave.bat I'm sending to you a
copy of this file.

Also could not found an executable octave.exe anywere on my disk. I've
tried to run the installer on two different machines, and the same thing
happend both times.

Please help me. I'm trying to convince some Win32 users to use octave
instead of Matlab (to promote free software), but if they cannot install
it they will say that octave is difficult to install or buggy. (I'm using
it on Win32).

By the way: I'm helping to develop goctave (a gnome front end for
octave).It would be nice if you put a link in the octave web page to our
page (http://12.32.54.90/goctave even thought I hope we are moving to
www.goctave.org soon) , and tell the user about goctave in the octave
documentation. It
is a project still under earlier development, but it can be useful.

 Thank you
				Pablo De Napoli
