According to the Octave manual (page 146 of Edition 3 for Octave
version 2.9.16) Octave can read Matlab version 7 files. It can also

licencing problems when running Octave and R on the one machine. Note
that there is a new native Windows version of Octave now available
that does not require cygwin.
