Thanks for the tip on using Activestate...I've got
that installed and accessible from an MS-DOS window. 
I'll have to figure out how to get Octave to work from
the MS-DOS window...hopefully as simple as making sure
that the cygwin DLL is in the path.

I've got to pull a lot of data from a DB2 database,
and it looks like the PERL inline:octave module will
be the easiest way to do that.
