function DispStr = pvformat(varargin)
%PVFORMAT  Formats property names and values for display.
%
%   VALSTR = PVFORMAT(VALUES) formats the property value 
%   information.
%
%   DISPSTR = PVFORMAT(PROPSTR,VALSTR) returns the character
%   array to be displayed by GET(SYS).  Both PROPSTR and 
%   VALSTR are cell arrays of strings.
