Would you be able to point me to documentation on it?  When I visit
the Octave site, the Windows & Cygwin entries appear to be combined
(if I interpret the layout properly).  I already have the Cygwin
install (updated this morning) and I searched the HTML & PDF
documentation for "active" (in case active X showed up) and for "COM".

Thanks.

BTW, I was debating with a fellow geek about how to pronounce
"Octave".  I always thought the accent was on the 2nd syllable, with a
long "a", while he pronounced it the way the word "octave" is normally
pronounced.  I have no clue where I got my idea of the pronounciation
from.  Octaviar?  Some Spiderman villain?  Anyway, is there an
official pronounciation?  If I appear goofee to other geeks, I can
point the an authoritative source.  Unless I'm wrong, of course.
