[Eeglablist] Name conflicts between EEGLab and MATLAB builtin functions

[Etienne Benoît Roesch]

Dear all,

I am using MatLab 2010a (MacOS 10.6.8), and MatLab complains on startup as follows:

Warning: Function /Applications/eeglab10_2_2_2b/functions/octavefunc/evalc.m has the same name as a MATLAB
builtin. We suggest you rename the function to avoid a potential name conflict. 
> In hgrc at 162
  In matlabrc at 100
Warning: Function /Applications/eeglab10_2_2_2b/functions/octavefunc/uimenu.m has the same name as a MATLAB
builtin. We suggest you rename the function to avoid a potential name conflict. 
> In hgrc at 162
  In matlabrc at 100

It also complains in much similar ways once in a while, on startup and for some of the analysis and plot functions. For instance, spectopo() returns:

Warning: "/Applications/eeglab10_2_2_2b/functions/octavefunc" not found in path. 
> In rmpath at 58
  In eeglab at 222

Am I correct to assume it is not safe for me to rename these functions (and wherever I can find where they are called from) in the eeglab folder itself? What would you recommend? (downgrade MatLab?)

Thanks for your help!
