It is only a little confusion, from the man page:

  "tabplay plays back a group of k-rate signals, previously
  recorded by tabrec into a table."

Octave stores values in "scientific" format, i.e. something like 5.89345e+2, and GEN23 does not seem to support that fully since when using tabplay I get different values than what's actually stored. I might be doing something wrong, but if not, maybe such support could added to csound6 :-)
