It's better to use the list (see CC), then the conversation is public, so others can benefit. > I was looking for some info on Windows support of the dicom package.

Use the MSVC build of 3.6.2 and get the dicom package for it. http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/files/Octave%20Windows%20binaries/Octave%203.6.2%20for%20Windows%20Microsoft%20Visual%20Studio/ octave-3.6.2-vs2010-setup.exe octave-3.6.2-dicom-0.1.1-vs2010-setup.exe after octave starts you will need to do pkg load dicom addpath('C:\Program Files\Octave-3.6.2\share\octave\packages\dicom-0.1.1') The second line tells it where to find the dicom dictionary (assuming you go with the default path). -- /* andy buckle */ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
