Combines weights and biases into one weights vector.

Synopsis

<PRE>
w = netpak(net)

<p><h2>
Description
</h2>
<CODE>w = netpak(net)</CODE> takes a network data structure <CODE>net</CODE> and
combines the component weight matrices  into a single row
vector <CODE>w</CODE>. The facility to switch between these two
representations for the network parameters is useful, for example, in
training a network by error function minimization, since a single
vector of parameters can be handled by general-purpose optimization
routines.  This function also takes into account a <CODE>mask</CODE> defined
as a field in <CODE>net</CODE> by removing any weights that correspond to
entries of 0 in the mask.
