% initialisation of matlab/octave environment for TP_MLP_AEROSOLS project
%
% DESCRIPTION
% ===========
%
% Detect if either octave or matlab running.
%
% Set up help Character Encoding.
% cf http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/toolbox/simulink/index.html?/access/helpdesk/help/toolbox/simulink/slref/slcharacterencoding.html&http://www.google.fr/search?q=slCharacterEncoding&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
%
% This file can be either run classicaly when currect directory
% is ${TP_MLP_AEROSOLS} :
%
% ..
%
%  >> tp_mlp_aerosols_startup
%
%
% If linked or copy to ./startup.m, it will be automaticaly
% run by matlab at start.
%
% If linked or copy to ${HOME}/.octaverc, it will be automaticaly
% run by octave at start.

% TODO
% ====
%
% Define :
%  - path for matlab/octave commands used in TP_MLP_AEROSOLS project
%  - IO directories in global variables
%
% not yet done because of specific meaning of private and toolbox in matlab
%
% check if set_param(0,'CharacterEncoding','ISO-8859-1') is a better solution
% than slCharacterEncoding('ISO-8859-1')
