Depreciated Functions

[Bill Denney]

Here is a large patch that fixes the problem of depreciated functions 
being called.  It does not change all of them (I didn't have access to CVS 
because I was just using my laptop not connected to the net), but it does 
these:

isstr     ischar
is_struct isstruct
setstr    char
is_vector isvector

I created a script to do the changes for me (massedit.sh), and I've 
attached it.  It's just a simple grep and sed deal.

One minor change that was unintentional, but I thought made sense to leave 
is that in hist.m, it changed arg_is_vector to arg_isvector.  I also made 
an unintentional change of isstruct to ischaruct, but that was fixed 
before making the diff that is attached.

If you would like for me to go and do the other depreciated functions, let 
me know, but I don't want to go to the work unless you want it.

Also, it seems that it would be a good idea to make depreciated functions 
give a warning that they are depreciated to encourage people to change 
their scripts and functions.
