MATLAB: Does the MATLAB Command History show the wrong time stamp when the locale is set to Australia/Sydney on the Windows 2000 machine

australiacommandgmthistoryMATLABsydneytimestamptimezone

I have set my Windows Date/Time Properties to "(GMT+10:00) Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney" and turned on the "Automatically adjust for daylight savings" option. I have also set the default Windows system locale to "English (Australia)"

The Command History timestamp is showing a GMT date/time instead of the local AM/PM system shown in the help file illustration. I receive correct information from the DATESTR function in the Command Window, but the Command History stamp is GMT.

This appears to be an issue with the Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 Installer in the updating of time zone entries in the registry.

To work around this issue, switch to another time zone (such as Tokyo) and back to Sydney. This can be done using the Date/Time properties in the Windows Control Panel.

MATLAB: Does the COPYFILE function preserve the original timestamp of the file copied using MATLAB 7.1 (R14SP3) on Mac OS 10.4.2

This enhancement has been incorporated in Release 2006b (R2006b). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:

The COPYFILE function in MATLAB 7.1 (R14SP3) preserves timestamps in the same way as the "cp -p" command on Mac OS 10.4.2. This change was made to make the function's behavior consistent across Windows and UNIX platforms.

To work around this issue, use the '!' operator with the "cp" command. The '!' operator indicates that the rest of the input line is a command to the operating system. For example:

! cp temp1.txt temp2.txt

does not preserve the original timestamp.

You can also use the SYSTEM function to execute operating system commands. For more information on this function, type

doc system

at the MATLAB Command Prompt.

MATLAB: How to get MATLAB for Linux to display its X11 windows on a Mac

One workaround that has worked for some of our customers is to use the -Y option as shown below:

 ssh -Y destinationAddress

instead of

 ssh -X destinationAddress

The '-Y' option is the same as the '-X' option, except that the -Y options enables X11 forwarding from trusted sources only.

Note: X-forwarding and other methods of running MATLAB on a remote machine are not supported by the MathWorks.
