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"].
