Description:
Returns the Fibonacci sequence to n places given a starting point of x and y (each integer is the sum of the two previous integers). Note that the function will also calculate the sequence for non-Fibonacci numbers. Based on FibCalc() by Phillip B. Holmes (pholmes@mediares.com).

Return Values:
Returns a comma-delimited list of numbers.

Example:

<cfoutput>
#FibGen(0,1,10)#<BR>
#FibGen(1,1,10)#
</cfoutput>

Parameters:
