Octave classes

[Massimo Manghi]

Hi guys

I wrote a message to this list days ago which admittedly wasn't very 
well concocted and it went unanswered. I try with a more direct and 
explicit question.

Is there somewhere some sort of implementation of a foundation class 
library for Octave? I'm trying to convert my scripts to classes but it 
seems methods like get, set, display need to be reimplemented every 
time, even though they do the same function for most of my classes. In 
other words: is there some class from which one could derive its own 
classes having those basic methods already available with a default 
functionality?

 thanks
