convert matlab to octave

[Jim Maas]

Thanks Ivan,

Got it, did some digging around.  Found out that Octaves ode45 solver 
wants the differential file name specified as @filename.m where Matlab 
uses 'filename.m', made the change and it seems to work.  Will be back 
with more questions I'm sure!

Thanks

Jim
