[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #59225] "save -z -binary -append" creates non readable files

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #59225 (project octave):

I ran through the the set of all filetypes and I found that "-binary" and
"-v6" both fail to append variables to a saved file when used in conjunction
with "-zip" option.  Separately, saving with "-z -v7" does not result in a
compressed file, which is perhaps why that format works.

The "-append" option is not very robust.  Would it be acceptable to limit it's
use when "-zip" is also given only to text formats (-text or -ascii)?  That
would just mean changing the save() function to do a bit more input validation
and issue an error or a warning when the condition is found.
