hi! well, i've already tried the resize method, in fact it was the
first thing i tried, i was going to try the extract method but,
there was a comment in the code that resize would do the same thing
but destroying the original matrix (what i intended), and it indeed 
reshaped the matrix but it's values weren't preserved... so, i endup 
with a reshaped matrix but with no values in it...
what can i do? can i assume that d1 and d2, the dimension variables
will still be around for some time? need i tho implement some sort of
reshape, if so what would be faster? calling the reshape script 
using feval or copying the matrix values to a reshaped matrix one by
one?

thanks...
