it would be nice if you could provide a ZIP archive

[Heinrich Acker]

My Filzip tool can show me the file list, but reports errors for all files in the archive. What a pity, the description is interesting!

[Scott Miller]

7-zip, which is gnu freeware (check sourceforge.net), seems to unarchive the files fine, and they don't seem to be corrupted. There does seem to be some non-standard characters, but only in the comment sections, as if the comments weren't written in an English font originally.

In what directory should I put the .dll?

[Andrey Muzhichkov]

I used WinRAR to archive it. Unfortunately, I didn't find how to load to the server several different archives (zip, rar and so on).
The "dll" should be in the same folder as the m-file.
Some comments were written in russian. Because I'm from Moscow and wrote this program to my friends. I'll improve files and upload english comments. Wait please till friday.
P.S. Some times ago I had big problem of how to use AIP in matlab. Now, I suppose with API matlab becomes more powerful.
P.P.S. I have written other interesting examples with 2D and 3D graphics. I'll upload it in time.

Thanks to all!

Hi there.

I have downloaded this file and used it.
It works quite well on myCDopen and myCDclose buttons.But when i press the other three buttons,it gives error as mentioned below.

??? Undefined function or method 'untitled' for input arguments of type 'struct'.
 
??? Error while evaluating uicontrol Callback

Please tell me how to solve this problem as soon as possible.

Thanking you in anticipation.
