Gauss Equivalent Functions Written in Matlab

Below are a few Matlab functions which behave like their Gauss counterparts. Simply place these files in a directory which is in your Matlab working path and call the functions at will from within Matlab. I will likely substantially add to this list in the future. Feel free to send any Gauss functions you're reversed engineered in Matlab to dh74673@goodnet.com and I will try to add them to the list as quickly as I can.

Gauss File Handling M-functions

Note: You must add the line "global gaussfh" in your startup.m file in your /matlab/toolbox/local directory. If the file does not currently exist create it with the line above in quotes (excluding the actual quotes). These file handling routines allow you to read and write binary Gauss datasets within Matlab without having to translate data to ascii files.

allmfile.zip Zip file of all the M-files listed below
open.m Equivalent to open fh=filename
openfa.m Equivalent to open fh=filename for append
create.m Same as create fh=fname with vnames,cols,type
readr.m Same
writer.m Same providing create.m used
close.m Same
closeall.m Same
rowsf.m Same
colsf.m Same

Other Files

The following functions differ from their Matlab counterparts in terms of whether a row vector (Matlab) or column vector (Gauss) is returned.
