function [norme] = norcol(Mat)
%NORCOL - (French) squared sum of each column in a matrix
% function [norme] = norcol(Mat)
%
% Note: This form will fail if Mat is a row vector, returning a scalar rather than 
%  another row vector.
% See also COLNORM
%
% norme est un vecteur 
% qui contient les normes^2
% des colonnes de la matrice Mat
