  Hello,

  this is a slight amelioratin over the struct functions that I sent
on Aug-12-1999 : 

  I have added a "fields" and a "cmpstruct" function. Shall I post it
here? Can you see any required modifications? 

  Cheers,

  Etienne

##        f = fields(s)
## 
## if version >= 2.1.14 
##        Returns the list of fieldnames in structure s. 
##        Returns an empty list if s is not a struct. 
## else
##        Returns a string array of fieldnames in structure s.
##        Returns '' if s is not a struct. 
## 
## Force the string behavior with :
##
##        f = fields(s,'string')
##        Returns a string array of fieldnames in structure s. 
##        Returns '' if s is not a struct.  
##
## For m****b compatibility and flexibility. 

##       c = cmpstruct(s1,s2)  
##
## Compares two structs, returning 1 if they are equal, 0 otherwise. 
##
## Will work only if fields of s1 and s2 can be compared through the
## '==' operator.
