[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #39922 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Confirmed              
        Operating System:               GNU/Linux => Any                    
                 Summary: type () fails to display the content of an ASCII
file that is not an m-file => type () fails to display the content of an ASCII
file with no extension

Follow-up Comment #1:

Semi-confirmed. Type in Octave will actually display the content of files as
long as they have a . in their name, so for example README.txt should work but
README doesn't work.

>From inside the Octave build tree:


octave:7> type AUTHORS
error: type: 'AUTHORS' undefined
octave:7> type BUGS
error: type: 'BUGS' undefined
octave:7> type INSTALL.OCTAVE
INSTALL.OCTAVE is the user-defined function defined from: ./INSTALL.OCTAVE
