Re: OCTAVE for MacOSX: dmg of Octave 3.8.0 and Octave 3.8.2

[Vic Norton]

Thanks for the advice, Carlo. I'm on OSX 10.9 and Octave 3.8.2 now, but I 
expect to be getting a new iMac sometime after OSX 10.11 comes out. Perhaps 
homebrew will be the only option then, but I won't get rid of my current 
machine/system until I get Octave 3.8 (or greater) AND the latest MacTeX 
working on my new system!

Regards,

Vic
