Since POLYVAL and POLYVALM (depending on which you're interested in) are 
both M-files, you can simply read the code and check.  POLYVALM is fairly 
straightforward; POLYVAL is a little more complicated because it needs to 
handle cases that POLYVALM doesn't (like the MU and S outputs from POLYFIT 
and the DELTA output it returns), but it's still not that bad.
