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 system
     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"].
