NAME

       gmt2bin - Create bin-index files from gmt files


SYNOPSIS

       gmt2bin listfile [ -Ppath ] [ -V ]


DESCRIPTION

       gmt2bin  reads  a  file with a list of leg ids, opens each
       gmt file, and creates a bin-index file for each leg called
       <legid>.bix.  These are used by binlegs to update the sys­
       tem  files  read  by  gmtlegs.  Normally,  only  the  data
       archivist will need to be concerned with these operations.

       listfile
              This is a one column ASCII file with one leg id  pr
              line.


OPTIONS

       -P     Sets full path to directory with gmtfiles. [Default
              is current directory].

       -V     Selects verbose  mode,  which  will  send  progress
              reports to stderr [Default runs "silently"].
