Sorry I forgot to ask the actual question I started out with.

What should be the extension of octave files when the octave programs 
are not compatible with matlab? Should it always be .m or can it be 
something else?

For example, in matlab the function definitions look like

function name
 body
end

where as in octave the definitions look like

function name
 body
endfunction

which does not work in matlab.

any ideas?

thanks
raju
