## 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"].
