Hi,

This is great news and will gladly help testing. Just one small 
question. If I install your octave.el, will I run into any sort of 
clashes with the old octave-inf.el and octave-mod.el? At the moment I 
have configured my emacs such that it loads octave mode automatically 
for m files. What do I need to change to get yours running?

Regards,
Laurent
