## 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"].
