[scilab-Users] API_Scilab example

Tue Apr 10 20:44:12 CEST 2012

Sorry for the my rude tone in my previous email. 

If you believe that there is some conflicting statements in the
documentation, please report bugs:
http://bugzilla.scilab.org/

About CheckRhs & CheckLhs, the version 5.4.0 will introduced the
replacements called CheckInputArgument & CheckOutputArgument.
The two will remain supported in the 5.X family
