Russ According to Sean O'Connell (March 20, 2000): | Hi All- | | I was curious if anyone has managed to get the Matlab helpdesk | function to work under emulation without creating /compat/linux/tmp | directory. I know this to not be a "good thing", but neither is | having beaucoup users asking why the help facility doesn't work :) | | Does Matlab 5.3.1 solve this at all? This feature works just fine | under Matlab 5.2. | | Russell Murphy brought this up in an eamil in early June of 1999, | but I haven't heard anything of it since then. | | Thanks for any insights. | | S | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | Sean O'Connell Email: sean@stat.Duke.EDU | Institute of Statistics and Decision Sciences Phone: (919) 684-5419 | Duke University Fax: (919) 684-8594 | ----- Russell D.
