Hallo,
Concerning Octave and SciTE on Windows. I have written VBS script, which lets me to run Octave source file
directly from SciTE. With this I have only to press F5 to run edited file in Octave. The advantage is, that Octave stays
running in the meantime and you do not need to wait for it to start each time you execute your code.
If Octave is not running, script will ask, whether user want to
start Octave and (if yes), start it automatically. If this will be useful for anybody else
this will be my pleasure to contribute to Octave.
Regards
