+How to interpret the .mat data files from the SciTools examples
+---------------------------------------------------------------
+
+First make sure you have Octave installed. Then copy the SciTools
+examples somewhere you've got write permissions:
+
+  $ cp -r /usr/share/doc/python-scitools/examples ~/scitools-examples
+
+Navigate into this folder:
+
+  $ cd ~/scitools-examples
+
+Make sure you have Octave installed, fire it up and from the Octave
+prompt load the wind_matlab_v6 dataset:
+
+  octave:1> load wind_matlab_v6.mat.gz
+
+Save the data in MATLAB's v6 binary data format:
+
+  octave:2> save -mat-binary wind_matlab_v6.mat
+
+Note that the .gz extension is stripped. Next, clear the data 
+
+  octave:3> clear
+
+and follow the same steps for mri_matlab_v6.mat.gz and
+topo_matlab_v6.mat.gz.
