Summary: winqueryreg does not return correct DWORD data
Project: GNU Octave
Submitted by: lostbard

Category: Octave Function
Severity: 3 - Normal

Release: 5.1.0
Operating System: Microsoft Windows
_______________________________________________________
Details:
Return DWORD data from the registry, where that value is more than 255:
For example:
winqueryreg ("HKLM", 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion',
'InstallDate')
Actual value using regedit:
1554817635
Using the function in octave 5.1:
ans = 99
using a recently updated windows package in Octave 4.2:
ans = 1.5548e+009
Looking at the code, it seems to be getting the value of the first byte of the
read buffer rather than getting as a DWORD.
