Boundaries for variables in ga function

Hi all,

I have been using Matlab Genetic Algorithm toolbox up to now, and would 
like to convert a script to octave. In matlab during the call to the ga 
function, boundaries can be specified for the values of the variables 
passed.I have searched for this ability in octave but was not able to 
find something. The syntax I have found includes only number of 
variables, the function to be optimized and options for the ga (mutation 
etc. parameters). Is there any other syntax?

I guess one way to override it if boundaries are not feasible is to take 
the values produced for these variables (seems that they have values 
between 0 and 1), multiply them and then take the modulo of the wanted 
boundary.
