    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Pajek network converted to sparse adjacency matrix for inclusion in UF sparse 
    matrix collection, Tim Davis.  For Pajek datasets, See V. Batagelj & A. Mrvar,
    http://vlado.fmf.uni-lj.si/pub/networks/data/.                                
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    A(i,j)=1 if actor j played in movie i.  colname(j,:) is the name of the actor.
    Column j = 362,181 is Kevin Bacon.  Year of movie i is year(i).               
    category(i) gives the category of movie i, use code(category(i),:).           
    1: Drama, 2: Short, 3: Documentary, 4: Comedy, 5: Western, 6: Family,         
    7: Mystery, 8: Thriller, 9: -, 10: Music, 11: Crime, 12: Sci-Fi, 13: Horror,  
    14: War, 15: Fantasy, 16: Romance, 17: Adventure, 18: Animation, 19: Action,  
    20: Musical, 21: Film-Noir, 99: Unknown.                                      
    Remember that in MATLAB, A(i,:) is slow to compute; A(:,i) is faster.  If you 
    want row i of a sparse matrix, access the ith column of the transpose instead.
    aux.ActorBacon(j) is the Bacon number of actor j.  aux.MovieBacon(i) is the   
    Bacon number of movie i.  The largest ActorBacon number is 8 (for 10 actors).
