%             Function mfile     curl.m
%
%   The call is   curl(u,v,corners)   where u = u(x,y) and v = v(x,y)
%   are the vector field F = [u,v].  The mfile calculates the curl
%   with centered differences. The vector field is displayed using 
%   quiver , and a pcolor map is made of the curl, showing by
%   color the values of the curl.
