//-------------------------------------------------------------------
//   XPTOPEN is C-MEX implementation for reading various  
//   statistical data formats including SAS/XPT, SPSS/PASW, 
//   STATA and ARFF data formats. Basic support for writing 
//   SAS/XPT is also supported. 
//   Endian conversion is done automatically.
//
//   usage: x = xptopen(filename)
//   usage: x = xptopen(filename,'r')
//		read filename and return variables in struct x
//   usage: xptopen(filename,'w',x)
//		save fields of struct x in filename
//   usage: x = xptopen(filename,'a',x)
//		append fields of struct x to filename
