+## (Internal function) Get and check various cell and range address parameters for spreadsheet input.
+##
+## spsh_chkrange should not be invoked directly but rather through oct2xls or oct2ods.
+##
+## Example:
+##
+## @example
+## [tl, nrw, ncl, trw, lcl] = spsh_chkrange (crange, nr, nc, xtype, fileptr);
+## @end example
+##
+## @end deftypefn
+
+## Author: Philip Nienhuis <prnienhuis@users.sf.net>
+## Created: 2010-08-02
+## Updates:
+## 2010-08-25 Option for supplying file pointer rather than interface_type & filename
+## (but this can be wasteful if the file ptr is copied)
+## 2011-03-29 Bug fix - unrecognized pointer struct & wrong type error msg
+## 2011-05-15 Experimental UNO support added (OpenOffice.org & clones)
+## 2011-09-18 Updated UNO data row capacity for LibreOffice 3.4+ (now 1,048,576 rows)
