Bob, 

Isn't this exactly what REBIN does?  It replicates pixels.  The value
of this BLOWUP:

  blowup = rebin(img(0:15,0:15), 16*nscale, 16*nscale)

is a new array with NSCALE times as many pixels in each direction as
the original 16x16 subimage.  Then of course you have to TV it onto
the screen.  :-)
