Whoa, thanks for that link. IIRC quite awhile ago there was a student edition that wasn't really suitable for anything other than toy problems because there was a limitation in the size of matrices. This looks to be the real deal though!

My mistake: the particular toolboxes often fuse together in my head. Not such a big deal at work where we've got access to so many of them. It'd definitely be a pain if I didn't. My point still stands, though, that I haven't seen anyone on any of the projects I've worked on using MATLAB code that's been automatically converted to C. Or, at the very least, it's not part of any documented process that I've seen.
