function [y, z, a] = mlpfwd(net, x)
%MLPFWD	Forward propagation through 2-layer network.
%
%	Description
%	Y = MLPFWD(NET, X) takes a network data structure NET together with a
%	matrix X of input vectors, and forward propagates the inputs through
%	the network to generate a matrix Y of output vectors. Each row of X
%	corresponds to one input vector and each row of Y corresponds to one
%	output vector.
%
%	[Y, Z] = MLPFWD(NET, X) also generates a matrix Z of the hidden unit
%	activations where each row corresponds to one pattern.
%
%	[Y, Z, A] = MLPFWD(NET, X) also returns a matrix A  giving the summed
%	inputs to each output unit, where each row corresponds to one
%	pattern.
