MATOpen

  MATOpen opens a MAT file in appropriate endian mode and returns a handle

  Example:
  [FH, SWAP]=MATOPEN(FILENAME, PERMISSION)
  FH is the returned file handle
  PERMISSION is the permission string for FOPEN
  SWAP is set true if the byte order is different to the default of the host
  platform

  The "appropriate" endian order is either:
  The system default endian if FILENAME does not exist
  The existing endian order for the file if FILENAME does exist
