What happened to this function? Was it ever implemented on any package? I can't find your name on any of the octave-forge files. When these things are sent to the mailing list, sometimes they get lost. > All tablify does (and I hate the name but can't think of a better one) is > copy data around.

Well it can either be made private for the whole package or added to another package and add its dependency to that. >> Looking at mathworks website, it seems that marcumq really is all lower >> case and exists in both the communications and signal package (that's >> strange.

Then I guess it's probably better to place it in signal. I think users will expect to find the function on the same place as they would in Matlab despite how unnatural it feels sometimes.
