Hello to all

I downloaded Octave. I read that it will run MATLAB programs, but how do you do that?

Thanks

If you're talking about .m files (MATLAB scripts), there's a page in the FAQ that lists the major differences (found from a Google search for 'Octave MATLAB compatibility'):
http://www.gnu.org/software/octave/FAQ.html#MATLAB-compatibility

If you're talking about how to actually run your scripts (it's basically the same as in MATLAB), this page should help you out in that area (found from a Google search for 'running octave scripts').

If you're talking about MATLAB toolboxes and other pre-compiled stuff, you may be SOL ('Short on' Luck)
