Can you clarify, does your program run on its own and create m-files
that the user then runs in Octave? Can your program run on a system that
does not have Octave installed? Or does your program directly invoke
Octave as a subprocess? Or does your program run Octave as an embedded
intepreter as part of its normal operation? How tightly coupled is your
approach with the Octave program and/or libraries?

In addition to Kai's links, you can also have a look at
