The only references I can find to the chop function are in the original
version of Matlab (ie the one written in fortran with no m-files) and in
Nick Higham matrix toolbox at

http://www.maths.manchester.ac.uk/~higham/mctoolbox/

Which are you referring to.. If its Nick's his toolbox is licensed under
the GPL and there is tehrefore no need to rewrite this function.
