DESCRIPTION
Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for
numerical computations. It provides a convenient command
line interface for solving linear and nonlinear problems
numerically.
DOCUMENTATION
The primary documentation for Octave is written using Tex
info, the GNU documentation system, which allows the same
source files to be used to produce on-line and printed
versions of the manual.
You can read the on-line copy of the Octave documentation
by issuing the command
octave:13> help -i
while running Octave interactively, by using the GNU Emacs
info mode, or by running standalone programs like info or
xinfo.
BUGS
The best way to submit a bug report for Octave is to use
the command
octave:13> bug_report
while running Octave interactively. This will create a
template bug report file and start an editor on that file.
Your message will be sent to the bug-octave mailing list
once you are finished editing the template.
If you are unable to use the bug_report command, send your
message to the bug-octave@bevo.che.wisc.edu mailing list
by some other means. Please read the `Bugs' chapter in
the Octave manual to find out how to submit a bug report
that will enable the Octave maintainers to fix the prob
lem.
