function [nc,crows]=pdecchk(c)
%PDECCHK Checks PDE equation's c coefficient string matrix.
%       [NC,CROWS]=PDECCHK(C) takes the coefficient string matrix C
%       and returns the correct c expression as a string matrix
%       CROWS with 1, 2, 3, or 4 rows (scalar); or with 1, 2, 3, 4, 6,
%       8, 10, or 16 rows (system). The number of rows is returned in NC.
