Hello;

Thanks for the feedback.  I offered it based on the licence agreement, not based on relative value. Rules are rules.

As for your argument about the diminshed nature of certain mathematical functions, I agree. I can almost hear your smug pompousness. Why not get rid of acosh and atanh as well?  Given the fact no one uses those either....

Here are the facts: it's well written, well documented and small. Bigger functions are built on smaller ones no matter how superior or inferior you personally believe it's worth. Maybe you should read Eric Scott Raymond?   If you don't want it, fine, I won't waste my time offering to help it's not my job.

I'll interpret this as Octave is disinterested in code offered up that improves the base despite the licence terms. So I won't worry about putting more useful functions into good order.

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Dave.

  I certainly  want it, and I am sure others will too. The only question is where to put it. A student is working on a solution to this and it should be ready by the end of the summer. 

 Thank you very much for contributing this.
