This week I'll try to do it.

Ah...
Makes me wonder: what would the generate_html scripts do if there were 
no INDEX file?
If it really works this way, I could drop the internal functions from 
the INDEX file. I'll experiment with this.


Anyway, thank you for your updates.

I have fixed some newly found bugs (actually more annoyances) in 
xlsopen.m & have to update odsopen.m accordingly. Hopefully I can do 
that tomorrow or the day after & check on Linux & make the release.

Perhaps because the .oct directories are more dependent on build 
environment (compiler version etc).
In /usr/share/octave there's a m-subdir for every Octave version, while 
in /usr/local/lib/octave the oct subdirs only seem to depend on build 
env level.
Anyway, this is all beyond me.

Best wishes

Philip
