Re: Octave 4.20 not working on windows10

[John Frain]

Could there be a problem if some of the files in the ~/.config/octave/
directory are read only. At some stage I had problems getting octave
to start and changing the read only attributes to of all such files
appeared to solve the problem. I don't remember any more details or
understand why the files were read-only.
