function screensizecheck(SZ)
%SCREENSIZECHECK Check the current screen resolution.
%   SCREENSIZECHECK([width height]) compares the current screen
%   resolution to the width and height given (in pixels).  If the
%   current screen size is smaller than either width or height, an
%   appropriate error message is generated.
%
%   Example:
%   -------
%   Generate an error if the screen resolution is smaller than
%   800x600.
%
%       screensizecheck([800 600]);
