John--
I hope you don't mind that I'm sending this to the octave list. Your
suggestion was very helpful. I used 'disp' lines to put out the needed
HTML code as follows:
#!/usr/local/bin/octave -qf
disp(['Content-type: text/html'])
disp(['\n'])
disp(['<HTML>'])
disp(['<HEAD><TITLE>MV Normal Random Numbers</TITLE></HEAD>'])
disp(['<BODY><PRE>'])
format bank; disp(randn(100,6)*chol(.5*ones(6)+.5*eye(6)))
disp(['</PRE></BODY></HTML>'])
That really worked beautifully. If anyone would like to execute this and
see the HTML, go here:
http://taxa.psyc.missouri.edu/cgi-bin/makerand3
It produces data just as makerand2 did, but it is a cleaner method. If
anyone has more suggestions on how best to do this, please chime in.
Thanks!
Regards,
Mike
