Success!....... almost.

THANK YOU so much for the detailed instructions in your blog post. The only tweak I had to do was to create a symbolic link ¨client¨ that points to the server directory.

After installing jhandles and loading it the tests failed with the following output:

octave:6> sombrero

Thank you again for all of your help, everytime I seem to inch closer to a solution. Once this works (hopefully), I can finally try out the uicontrol function.
