   Octave (and f2c) have been ported under FreeBSD as ready-to-install sources
   and binary packages. I suspect they'll run as fine under NetBSD.

Yes, but that's for octave 0.74.  John Eaton (the author) just told me
that 0.79 is out, and is significantly improved.  I just got 0.79, but
don't know when I'll get to the port -- any one want to beat me to it?

(It'd be like racing a turtle with arthritis, but some people on this
list seem to be into that sort of thing . . .)
