Octave 4.0.2 for windows downloadable from octave web site has pre-build octave 
forge packages.
The instrument-control package is included among the pre-build packages.

However,

>> pkg load instrument-control

>> pkg list

Package Name         | Version | Installation directory
---------------------+---------+-----------------------
 instrument-control *|   0.2.2 | 
...\share\octave\packages\instrument-control-0.2.2


But

The instrument-control seems not to work on windows.

Do you know whether does instrument-control work on windows?
If it works, are there limitation on windows?
