+Description
+</h2>
+<CODE>w = netpak(net)</CODE> takes a network data structure <CODE>net</CODE> and
+combines the component weight matrices  into a single row
+vector <CODE>w</CODE>. The facility to switch between these two
+representations for the network parameters is useful, for example, in
+training a network by error function minimization, since a single
+vector of parameters can be handled by general-purpose optimization
+routines.  This function also takes into account a <CODE>mask</CODE> defined
+as a field in <CODE>net</CODE> by removing any weights that correspond to
+entries of 0 in the mask.
