/*
fsyn(maxnum)
 allocates space for maxnum synapses. Space for
 previously existing synapses is released. All synapses initialized to
 0 maximum conductance.
 
fsyn(i, loc, delay, tau, gmax, erev)
 The ith synapse is injected at parameter `loc'
 different synapses do not concatenate but can ride on top of
 each other. delay refers to onset of synapse relative to t=0
 delay and duration are in msec.
 stim in namps.
 
 a synaptic current defined by
    i = g * (v - erev)  i(nanoamps), g(microsiemens);
    where
     g = 0 for t < delay and
     g = gmax * (t - delay)/tau * exp(-(t - delay - tau)/tau)
      for t > onset
 this has the property that the maximum value is gmax and occurs at
  t = delay + tau.
 
fsyni(i)
 returns synaptic current for ith synapse at the value of the
 global time t in units of nanoamps.
 
fsyng(i)
 returns synaptic conductance for ith synapse at the value of the
 global time t.
