function covf = gpcovarf(net, x1, x2)
%GPCOVARF Calculate the covariance function for a Gaussian Process.
%
%	Description
%
%	COVF = GPCOVARF(NET, X1, X2) takes  a Gaussian Process data structure
%	NET together with two matrices X1 and X2 of input vectors,  and
%	computes the matrix of the covariance function values COVF.
