fread/fwrite matlab --> octave

[Fabrizio Nozza]

i have installed octave 1.1.1 on my Crimson SGI (S.O 5.2 64Mb Ram 2Gb Scsi
Disk).
I have some problem to read an image that contains signed integer of 16 bit (in
matlab it is possible using int16 in fread command), I have tried different
format (as suggested in the manual, short, ushort, char etc.) without results.
I have read in Octave faq mailing list a mail of address@hidden (Jan
10 1995) about this problem but there are two little problem:
1) this mail speaks about octave 1.0
2) this mail reports only the difference between modified files.

I have send an e-mail to address@hidden and for the moment  I  haven't
recevied an answer, perhaps someone could help me ?

Thanks in advance
