Octave is intended to be portable to any standard conforming compiler. If you have difficulties that you think are bugs, please report them to the <a href="http://bugs.octave.org">http://bugs.octave.org</a> bug tracker, or ask for help on the <a href="mailto:help@octave.org">help@octave.org</a> mailing list. </body></html>
