No. The latin abbreviation "etc." means "and so on and so forth". When you exclude
all of those functions "etc." without listing anything that you -are- willing to use,
you are excluding everything that exists in Matlab. Matlab is not able to operate
upon the mere -idea- that you want to do something.


There is, by the way, no function provided with Matlab that knows the structure
of Microsoft .exe files and is able to locate specific subsections or symbols 
in them. However, depending -exactly- how the .exe was constructed, you might
be able to make productive use of loadlibrary and related functions, possibly
in conjunction with mmap().
