% PRIMPORT import the old-format prtools datasets
%
%   OUT = PRIMPORT(A)
%
% INPUT
%    A     The Structure to be converted.
%
% OUTPUT
%    OUT   The imported dataset
%
% DESCRIPTION 
% This routine converts old prtools datasets into the new prtools 4.x
% format. Structure A is tested for existence of all the fields forming
% particular dataset format. Prtools 3.x and 4.x formats are supported.
