Daniel@0: %	Description
Daniel@0: %	W = NETPAK(NET) takes a network data structure NET and combines the
Daniel@0: %	component weight matrices  into a single row vector W. The facility
Daniel@0: %	to switch between these two representations for the network
Daniel@0: %	parameters is useful, for example, in training a network by error
Daniel@0: %	function minimization, since a single vector of parameters can be
Daniel@0: %	handled by general-purpose optimization routines.  This function also
Daniel@0: %	takes into account a MASK defined as a field in NET by removing any
Daniel@0: %	weights that correspond to entries of 0 in the mask.
