DESCRIPTION

19       Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical  com‐
20       putations.  It provides a convenient command line interface for solving
21       linear and nonlinear problems numerically.

DOCUMENTATION

24       The primary documentation for Octave is written using Texinfo, the  GNU
25       documentation  system, which allows the same source files to be used to
26       produce on-line and printed versions of the manual.
27
28       You can read the on-line copy of the Octave  documentation  by  issuing
29       the command
30
31           octave:13> help -i
32
33       while  running  Octave interactively, by using the GNU Emacs info mode,
34       or by running standalone programs like info or xinfo.
35

BUGS

37       The best way to submit a bug report for Octave is to use the command
38
39            octave:13> bug_report
40
41       while running Octave interactively.  This will create  a  template  bug
42       report  file  and  start  an editor on that file.  Your message will be
43       sent to the bug-octave mailing list once you are finished  editing  the
44       template.
45
46       If  you  are unable to use the bug_report command, send your message to
47       the bug@octave.org mailing list by some other means.  Please  read  the
48       `Bugs'  chapter  in  the  Octave manual to find out how to submit a bug
49       report that will enable the Octave maintainers to fix the problem.
