function [y,fs,h]=readcnx(filename,mode)
%READCNX  Read a .CNX format sound file [Y,FS,H]=(FILENAME)
%
% Inputs:
%           filename : character string containing filename (default extension .cnx)
%           mode:    't' = trim leading and trailing silences
%                    'h' = read header only
%
% Outputs:
%           y  : column vector containing waveform
%           fs : sample frequency
%           h  : parameter array:
%                h(1) = number of samples in file
%                h(2) = status: 0=good, 1=bad
%                h(3) = start sample number
%                h(4) = ending sample number
%                h(5) = speaker identification number
%                h(6) = speaker age group
%                h(7) = speaker sex: 0=male, 1=female
%                h(8) = ascii character
%                h(9) = repetition number
%
% This is the format of the BT Connex-S1 alphabet database
% Note: the decoding is not particularly robust and assumes
%       that all headers contain the same sequence of fields
