Alex, After looking at this a bit, I'm in agreement with Martin. In any event, tor my purpose, I only need to understand the manner by which R computes quantiles, so that the same algorithm may be applied to Octave. Hence, my need is short term. However, I can still take a look at this if you think it proper to press on.
