.SH NAME
x2sys_binlist \- Create bin-index files from track data files
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBx2sys_binlist\fP \fIfile(s)\fP [ \fB\-T\fP\fITAG\fP ] [ \fB\-V\fP ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBx2sys_binlist\fP reads one or more track data files and produces a multi-
segment ascii track bin index listing.
The input files can be of any format, which must be described and passed with the
\fB\-T\fP option. The bin index listing is a crude representation of where
the track goes and is used by the data archivist to determine which tracks
need to be compared for crossover analysis. You must run \fBx2ys_init\fP
to initialize the tag before you can run the indexing.
