Details:

Since the latest release of Octave 4.2.0 for Windows 64 bits (32 or 64
binaries), it seems that the instrument-control package 0.2.2 does not support
all serial-related functions anymore.

Indeed, after loading the package, the support of serial fails:


pkg load instrument-control
exist("serial")


this gives me 0 (anything else than 3 means "no support").

Note that the serial support was just working well on Octave 4.0.3.
