And the user's ID was vtk_001, not 0001.

The files uploaded here have a TMW copyright.  How can we have them removed?

vtk_0001, you can't just copy files from Matlab.

Matlab's version of rat() supports complex numbers.  Octave's should as well.

For reference, here is a sample result:


rat (complex (0.5, pi))

ans =

  3×18 char array

    '1 + 1/(-2)        '
    ' +i* ...          '
    '3 + 1/(7 + 1/(16))'


I would argue that it might be better to have the real part of the number on one line and the complex part on the next, rather than splitting the value in to three parts.
