| 34 .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 35 Octave is a high-level language, primarily intended for numerical | |
| 36 computations. It provides a convenient command line interface for | |
| 37 solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically. | |
| 38 .SH DOCUMENTATION | |
| 39 The primary documentation for Octave is written using Texinfo, the GNU | |
| 40 documentation system, which allows the same source files to be used to | |
| 41 produce on-line and printed versions of the manual. | |
| 42 .PP | |
| 43 You can read the on-line copy of the Octave documentation by issuing | |
| 44 the command | |
| 45 .nf | |

| 52 .SH BUGS | |
| 53 The best way to submit a bug report for Octave is to use the command | |
| 54 .nf | |
| 55 | |
| 56 octave:13> bug_report | |
| 57 | |
| 58 .fi | |
| 59 while running Octave interactively. This will create a template bug | |
| 60 report file and start an editor on that file. Your | |
| 61 message will be sent to the bug-octave mailing list | |
| 62 once you are finished editing the template. | |
| 63 .PP | |
