Lee--
Thanks again for the reference to the financial (and time, miscellaneous)
packages.
I know you're a Mac guy, but I was wondering if you know what's going on
here. I tried installing the time and miscellaneous packages and got
numerous errors. I posted the following note to the octave-dev mailing
list. It looks like it thinks I'm on a Unix machine or something. I used
the Windows Installer to install Octave. Shouldn't I be able to just type
the commands as shown below at the Octave prompt? If not, how do I install
these packages on a Windows platform?

Earlier tonight I posted a problem I had when trying to install the
financial package. I now know that I was supposed to already have installed
the "time" and "miscellaneous" packages. So I then did that, but when
trying to install these, I got
-> pkg install miscellaneous-1.0.9.tar.gz
configure: error: in `/tmp/oct-3/miscellaneous-1.0.9/src':
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.
the configure script returned the following error: checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no

Help, please??
