hg clone http://www.octave.org/hg/octave will get you the latest version with class support.

Once you do that look at the individual comms function you wish to add and write them. These will go into octave-forge rather than Octave, but would probably be held back or placed in an alternative branch till octave-forge switches to supportting Octave 3.1 rather than Octave 3.0 Regards David > Regards, > Nicolas J.
