   The ability to use the matlab

   graymap files.

I meant to say this about the P2 graymap files, so I should have given
the example:

    image = fscanf(fid, '%d', [height, width])';

which works in matlab but not in octave. Sorry.

Thanks to Vinayak Dutt <Dutt dot Vinayak at Mayo dot EDU> for correcting my mistake.
