I know, Mr. Batemean.  I understand, and I agree.  No offence meant.  I
was only suggesting that an MD5 digest might be less effort to produce
than answering list messages about virus scanner errors.  

I don't know if I'm ideally placed or not, but I expect before long I'll
be wrangling with building Octave for Windows from source.  I'd like to
get a version built with symbols, so I can trace calls to my extension
with a debugger.  

I tried on NetBSD and gave up. (I'm not alone, cf.
http://cvsweb.netbsd.se/cgi-bin/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/math/octave/patches/) 
:-(   

BTW, is there interest here in making Octave more portable, in particular
by using libtool?  I might be able to help there.  

Kind regards,
