Just a 1-minute look before I must rush to the office:
Things like
   help foo
look good now. Nice!

Shouldn't it be called "octave-3.4.2.zip" ?

The pdf file also has "3.2.4" in its filename.

You wrote in octave-3.2.4.txt that you didn't yet test mkoctfile.
While instaling the java and windows packages (which went OK), mkoctfile 
is invoked. So I conclude that (AFAICS!) mkoctfile does work.

(The windows package has an issue with octave-3.4.2, but that is 
-hopefully- unrelated)

Can you tell us what files have been changed in the other (development) 
zips on your site?
They may be need to be swapped as well when compiling packages (not the 
entire zips, just the files that changed).

We all do....

Thank you Tatsuro, I'll try out the new files a.s.a.p.

I use the previous octave-3.4.2 you built a few days ago already for 
"production" (most of it related to I/O, data sorting and graphics, not 
much numerical).
A few things need attention but I need to do more testing. The most 
pressing issue is concerned with a crashing fltk which takes all of 
octave down.

I'll report later (this weekend).
