In V7.2 (R2006a), this file has been renamed cvf66engmatopts.bat to match the
Compaq Visual Fortran product name.
Compatibility Considerations
You may need to change any scripts that depend on the earlier name for the options file.
Options Files Removed for Unsupported Compilers
MATLAB V7.1 (R14SP3) included MEX, Engine, and MAT options files for a number
of Windows C and Fortran compilers that were untested. These options files are not
included in V7.2 (R2006a). The unsupported compilers, and the supported compilers that
replace them, are:
Unsupported Compiler Supported Replacement
Borland 5.0, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 Borland 5.5, Borland 5.5 Free, Borland 5.6
Digital Visual Fortran 5.0, 6.0 Compaq Visual Fortran 6.1, Compaq Visual
Fortran 6.6, Intel Visual Fortran 9.0
Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0, Visual C++ .NET
2002 (7.0)
Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0, Visual C++ .NET
2003 (7.1), Visual C++ 2005 (8.0)
Watcom 10.6, 11 Open Watcom 1.3
Compatibility Considerations
If you were using an untested compiler with a previous version of MATLAB, replace it
with a supported compiler. You may need to recompile your MEX-files or applications.
Obsolete Functions No Longer Documented
In V7.1 (R14SP3), many MAT-file access, MX array manipulation, MEX-files, and
MATLAB engine functions were declared obsolete in the External Interfaces Reference
documentation. These functions are no longer documented in V7.2 (R2006a).
This section lists the obsolete functions removed from the documentation, along with
replacement functions, if any.
